Fashola: I Don’t Know What Happened To Camera I Recovered At Lekki Tollgate

The minister for works and housing, Babatunde Fashola, has stated that he does not know what happened to the video camera he discovered at the Lekki tollgate after the #EndSARS protests.

It could be recalled that after the Lekki tollgate shooting in October 2020, Fashola, while visiting the scene accompanied by other fellow ministers and south-west governors, found a hidden camcorder which he said must have been planted by “some subversive elements”.

This development sparked reactions on social media as many Nigerians, including celebrities, took to their pages to express their views.

The clip of the former Lagos state governor finding the camera was turned into memes that trended on the internet for months.

Speaking with Arise TV on Sunday, Fashola stated that he doesn’t know what became of his discovery.

The minister disclosed that he should not be the one to answer questions on the camcorder, saying he had since handed it over to the Lagos state government.

“You should not be asking me. You have the tapes showing that I handed it over to the government of Lagos, so you have all the recordings,” he said.

“I think your people were there. So don’t ask me what happened to the camera. I don’t know.”
