Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo has finally reacted to the shooting of #EndSARS protesters in the Lekki area of Lagos state.
On Tuesday evening, armed men in military uniform opened fire on protesters who had converged at the Lekki toll gate for two weeks.
The incident sparked a global outrage, with many criticising President Muhammadu Buhari and the vice-president for not commenting on the shooting.
In a series of tweets on Wednesday evening, Osinbajo said the victims will get justice.
I spoke to some of those in hospital. The pain of these terrible events is palpable in our towns and cities, and some losses are irreplaceable, but we can and will get justice for all of them. I stand with Lagos & all other affected states in these trying times.
