Future Proceeds Of Lekki Toll Gate Should Go To Victims Of Police Brutality – Bola Tinubu New Future Proceeds Of Lekki Tollgate Should Go To Victims Of Police Brutality- Bola Tinubu 1

APC National leader, Bola Tinubu, has suggested that revenues generated from the Lekki Toll Gate when it is reopened, should be given to victims of the attack by soldiers and victims of police brutality in Nigeria.

In a statement released on Sunday, October 25, Bola Tinubu denied claims of having a financial stake in the tollgates. “Today, I speak to those who believe in the importance of, and want to know, the truth. The slander aimed at me is based on the untruth that I own the toll gate concession. The hate mongers prevaricate that I ordered the Lekki assault because the protests had caused me to lose money due to the interruption of toll gate activity.

The toll gate is a public asset. Given what has happened, I would like to propose to government that the toll gate be left closed for an indefinite period. If it is reopened, revenues should be donated to the confirmed victims of the Lekki attack as well as to other identifiable victims of police brutality in Lagos.

Let government use the money to compensate and take care of those who have lost life or limb in the struggle for all citizens to go about the quiet, peaceful enjoyment of life without fear of undue harassment at this or that checkpoint. Bola Tinubu said.
