Farotimi Slams Lai Mohammed Over Lekki Tollgate Claims

Dele Farotimi, a human rights lawyer, publicly criticized Lai Mohammed, the former Minister of Information, during an interview on the State Affairs podcast hosted by Edmund Obilo. Farotimi labeled Mohammed a "shameless liar" in response to the latter's claims that no one died during the tragic shooting incident at Lekki Tollgate.

Farotimi highlighted the Lagos State Government's decision to pay ₦100 million to survivors and the families of deceased victims, which he argued contradicts Mohammed's statements. He pointed out that the government also allocated ₦100,000 for the burial of 100 unidentified individuals, raising further questions about the veracity of Mohammed's claims.

Farotimi's remarks emphasize the ongoing controversy surrounding the Lekki Tollgate incident and the government's handling of the aftermath.
