Some eminent Lagos State indigenes have come out to ask Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to desist from carrying out the intended peace-walk planned for this month.

This was made known in a statement signed by their spokesman, Chief Adesunbo Onitiri, yesterday. The elders, who identify themselves as Prominent Lagos State Indigenes, worried that with the volatile economic and security situation in the country, especially in Lagos, embarking on such exercise would be suicidal.

They expressed concern that the enemy of Lagos might use the opportunity to set the state ablaze.

“We are in perilous times, most Lagosians are very angry and hungry. There is acute poverty in the land and the atmosphere is very charged and tense. The peace walk may trigger violent reactions. Let hungry sleeping dogs lie. Not at this period when most Lagosians are looking for how to put one square meal on the table and how to celebrate the Christmas season,” the statement read.

While condemning the state government’s white paper on the #EndSARS panel report, the group advised the governor to apologise to Lagosians for the many unarmed young protesters that were allegedly murdered in their prime.
