The Minister for Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola, on Sunday, recovered a hidden camera at the Lekki Toll Gate, Admiralty Circle, in Lagos.
The toll gate has served as the rallying point for the EndSARS movement in Lagos.
Fashola, led a Federal Government delegation on the directive of President Muhammadu Buhari to commiserate with the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu over the loss of lives and destruction of properties in the violence that rocked the state last week.
Those in the FG’s entourage include: Ministers of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola; Mines and Industries, Olamilekan Adegbite; Trade and Investments, Niyi Adebayo, and Minister of State for Health, Olorunnibe Mamora.
Fashola discovered the camera during an on the spot assessment at the Lekki Toll Gate, and subsequently handed it over to the Lagos State governor for forensic analysis and further investigation.
Fashola said the camera must have been planted by some subversive elements prior to the reported shootings for ulterior motives.
The minister, who picked up the camera with an aid of a handkerchief, said “I think this will help with the ongoing investigations into the shootings at the Lekki Toll Gate.
“It requires forensic analysis and could be used in the investigations to unravel the mystery surrounding the shootings at the Toll Gate, I believe.”
Some South West Governors such as: Ekiti, Kayode Fayemi; Ondo, Rotimi Akeredolu, and Oyo, Seyi Makinde, also visited Governor Sanwo-Olu on Sunday to commiserate with him over the violence which erupted in the state.
