Human right activist and member of the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry on the Consolidated Report on General Police Brutality Cases and Report of Lekki Incident Investigation; Segun Awosanya has said that he will be walking with anyone promoting peace.
The activist said this after Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu invited some known #EndSARS activists to a “Peace Walk”, as one of the steps towards closure and healing over last year’s EndSARS protests and the Lekki toll gate incident.
While some #EndSARS activist have rejected the Governor’s offer and asked for justice instead, Awosanya who spoke from London, said he would have considered it if he was in Nigeria. He also claimed that it does not stop him from criticizing the Governor.
He said:
“Because I am an advocate for peace, justice, equity and fairness, I will walk with anybody who wants peace.
“There are no absolutes. Because I agree with some people on certain things does not mean I am in alignment with them. So if walk with the Governor today, it does not stop me from criticizing the Governor.”
