The Commissioner for Information and Strategy in Lagos state, Gbenga Omotoso, says connecting the mass burial to the Lekki tollgate can be described as “post-election hallucination.”

Omotoso was a guest on Arise TV on Tuesday July 25, to speak about the leaked memo showing the approval of N61 million by the state government for the mass burial of 103 bodies recovered during the October 20, 2020 EndSARS crisis. Shortly after the memo was leaked, Nigerians dragged the government for lying that no one died at the Lekki tollgate. They insisted that the bodies to be buried were retrieved from the Lekki tollgate where some military men were sent in to disperse the protesting youths.
