Babatunde Fashola, Lagos State Governor, has blamed President Jonathan’s visit to the state as the reason for the success of the robbery at Lekki, Lagos State on March 12, 2015.
According to him, all security forces who should be patrolling the area were absent from their duty posts to protect the President.
He said this during the Buhari meet the Entertainers Program in Lagos yesterday March 12th.
“Today is a very sad day because this afternoon we lost three policemen to the robbery in Lekki and it was the first of its kind in a long time. And I also know that perhaps what will be would have been but it was sad to see all our security vehicles deployed to protect one man. All the vehicles we bought for the police were stationed to receive the President in Lagos while the citizens were left vulnerable. Those policemen have children. Their mothers will be have to explain to them why daddy is not coming home. May their souls rest in peace” he said.
Three policemen and a 15 year old fish hawker were left dead by the end of the robbery.
Another five were said to have sustained injury of varying degrees by stray bullets
