Concession<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also denied having any investment in the Lekki Company, the firm which manages the tollgate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An unspecified number of people were killed and several others injured when soldiers attacked the protesters around the Lekki toll plaza on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tinubu<\/a>\u00a0said: \u201cWhy will they use live bullets?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI will never, never be part of any carnage. I will never be part of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have no dime, no kobo investment in the tollgate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are about 13 to 14 days into the protests now. Before now, I was being accused and reported to the presidency that I was behind the protests, that I was a sponsor of the protests.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tinubu said he refuted the allegations and \u201cappealed to the youths\u201d and Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to respond to the demands of the protesters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat was why he (Sanwo-Olu) set up the Judicial Commission of Inquiry. The governor has gone to the home of one of the victims to appeal to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe has put N200m together as part of restitution and compensation for those attacked\u201d, the former Lagos State governor stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
