Nigerian celebrities reject governor’s peace walk

Calls for a peace walk by Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu aimed at healing the city after the state government dismissed the Lekki report have been termed “disrespectful”.

The panel report that police intentionally shot protesters was dismissed by the Lagos government as “assumptions and speculations”.

Mr Sanwo-Olu said the city needed to heal, hence his proposal for a peace walk.

Nigerian entertainers Folarin Falana popularly known as Falz and Debo Adebayo also known as Mr Marcaroni rejected the governor’s invitation.

One of the panel’s recommendations was that victims of police brutality during the EndSars protests be compensated, a matter the governor said was being implemented.
