Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has noted that the incident at Lekki toll gate in Lagos state on Tuesday was regrettable and unacceptable.
The governor who visited victims at different hospitals noted that he would address Lagosians later on Wednesday.
“This is the toughest night of our lives as forces beyond our direct control have moved to make dark notes in our history, but we will face it and come out stronger.
“I’ve just concluded visits to hospitals with victims of this unfortunate shooting incident at Lekki.
Sanwo-Olu added that, “It has taken me this long to make a statement because I have to prioritize the welfare of the victims of this very sad incident.
“There are currently 10 patients at the Gen Hospital, 11 at Reddington and 4 at Vedic; with mild to moderate levels of injuries while two are receiving intensive medical care.
“Three patients have been discharged and we will continue to monitor and ensure all patients get the best care.
“As the Governor of our state, I recognize the buck stops at my table and I will work with the FG to get to the root of this unfortunate incident and stabilise all security operations to protect the lives of our residents.
“I will give a state broadcast in the morning,” he added.
