A member of the House of Representatives, Mr Tajudeen Yusuf, has called on the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN), to tender a “national apology” for saying that hoodlums dressed in military attire were responsible for the shooting of #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki Tollgate in Lagos State.

Yusuf, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party from Kogi State, made the call in a statement issued on Tuesday.

Soldiers had shot at #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki toll plaza on October 20.

Malami had reportedly told journalists that hoodlums were possibly involved in the shootings.

Yusuf stated that while there are lessons to learn by both the protesters and the government, Malami’s alleged statement that hoodlum in military apparel shot at protesters deserves to be followed with a national apology.

In the statement titled, ‘Lekki shooting: Apologise for Your Inappropriate Comment Rep. Tells Malami…asks FG to Reverse Misstep Against Protest Leaders,’ Yusuf described as condemnable, the circumstances surrounding the withdrawal of two youth members of the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry and their subsequent resumption of sitting during the weekend”
