Gov. Fashola Blames Jonathan For Lekki-Ikoyi Robbery...

It was reported that three policemen and three civilians died with many rushed to the hospital after being hit by stray bullets.

Following the catastrophe, Governor of Lagos state, Babatunde Fashola, has reacted with heavy detest for the presidency.



Reports reveal that Governor Fashola has pointed accusing fingers to the incumbent president of the country, Goodluck Jonathan for the heavy disaster that occurred yesterday.

According to Fashola, the President’s planned visit to Lagos led to the low number of available policemen on hand to take on the armed robbers.

Fashola made the accusation on Thursday night at the Intercontinental Hotel, Lagos, during the All Progressives Congress event, tagged: ‘An Evening For Nigeria’.

Ynaija reports that Governor Fashola said this at the event: “Because Jonathan was coming to Lagos, all the vehicles and police in Lagos were sent to be on standby for him, and there was no available not enough to stop the robbery at Ikoyi-Lekki link bridge” .

It would be recalled that President Goodluck Jonathan and General Muhammadu Buhari, arrived Lagos yesterday, March 12, 2015.

While the president came to Lagos from Ijebu Ode in Ogun state, where he went to seek the support of Sikiru Adetona, the Awujale and the supreme ruler of Ijebuland, Buhari flew in from the APC presidential rally in Rivers state capital, Port Harcourt.
