On Sunday, the Minister for Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola, who is also the former governor of Lagos state, discovered a camera which had been hidden at the Lekki Toll Gate, Admiralty Circle, in Lagos.

He had led a Federal Government delegation which included: Ministers of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, Mines and Industries, Olamilekan Adegbite, Niyi Adebayo, Trade and Investments and Olorunnibe Mamora, Health state. Also, there were some South West Governors such as Lagos States, Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti, Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo, Seyi Makinde of Oyo as well as the host, Babajide Sanwo-Olu on the inspection tour in the company of newsmen.

The trip had been made 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. After the discovery of the camera during an on the spot assessment at the Lekki Toll Gate, Fashola, who picked up the camera with an aid of a handkerchief, went on to hand it over to Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu for forensic analysis and further investigation.

He said the camera must have been planted by some subversive elements prior to the reported shootings for ulterior motives, stating, “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.”
