Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Tuesday, invited some popular celebrities who were actively involved during the EndSARS protest for a peace walk.
The EndSARS protest which took place in Lagos among other states, happened in October 2020.
The Lagos State governor titled the peace walk which will take place in December, “The healing of Lagos.”
Other people that were invited are, Adedotun (Just Detoun), Seun Kuti, Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu and Commander of Rapid Response Squad (RRS), CSP Yinka Egbeyemi and others.
The Governor said he would be leading ‘A Walk for Peace’ in December to herald the healing of the land, extending an open invitation to the youths, members of the diplomatic corps, civil society groups, students and the media as well as other stakeholders to join him in the Peace Walk.
Speaking at Government House, Alausa, on Tuesday, the governor said this is part of measures aimed at reconciliation and achieving “true healing” after the disturbances that trailed last year’s EndSARS protests.
The invitation is coming barely two weeks after the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry released Report on EndSARS protest.
According to the report submitted by the panel, no fewer than nine persons were confirmed dead at the Lekki toll plaza on the night soldiers stormed there to disperse #EndSARS protesters on October 20, 2020.
