'Who ordered the shootings' — Sowore demands prosecution over Lekki Toll Gate incident

The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, Omoyele Sowore has demanded the arrest and prosecution of those responsible for the shootings at Lekki Toll Gate during the EndSARS protests, questioning why victims are still waiting for justice six years later.In a post on X marking the sixth anniversary of the protests on October 20, Sowore asked who ordered the shootings and why those responsible had not been prosecuted.“Where are the killers? Who ordered the shootings at LekkiTollGate? Who has been prosecuted?” he wrote.Sowore also called for investigations into the roles of Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, military and police commanders, and other individuals he accused of being linked to the incident.He further questioned allegations that the toll gate’s CCTV camera was removed before the shootings and called for those claims to be investigated.Sowore said the EndSARS protests went beyond the demand to disband the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, describing the movement as a revolt against police brutality, torture, extortion and extrajudicial killings.He pledged that, if elected in 2027, his administration would reopen investigations into the Lekki Toll Gate incident, establish the chain of command and prosecute anyone found culpable, regardless of rank or political connections.'Who ordered the shootings' — Sowore demands prosecution over Lekki Toll Gate incident

NNPC, NLNG Listings: FG targets N750trn capital market, eyes $1trn valuation

The Federal Government has said it is targeting a capital market worth N750 trillion, with the listing of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, and Nigeria LNG Limited, NLNG, on the Nigerian Exchange Limited, NGX.The country’s Vice President, Kashim Shettima, and the Minister of Finance, Taiwo Oyedele, disclosed this at the unveiling of the Nigerian Capital Market Master Plan 2.0, developed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC, in Abuja on Monday.Shettima said the NGX had experienced significant growth since the inauguration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration in May 2023.On his part, Oyedele said Nigeria should aim for a $1 trillion capital market, equivalent to more than N750 trillion, within the next 10 years to support the country’s ambition of building a $1 trillion economy by 2030.According to him, there is an urgent need for the Federal Government to accelerate the listing of selected state-owned enterprises, particularly NNPC and NLNG.He argued that making shares in the state-owned oil and gas companies available to investors would deepen the market, improve transparency and broaden public ownership of national assets.“We cannot force them. We would encourage Nigerian private businesses to list. We will use incentives to attract them,” he said.This comes as Dangote Refinery, Africa’s largest refinery, opened its initial public offer (IPO) at N525 per share to raise between $1.6 billion and $2.1 billion to fund its capacity expansion programmes.The deadline for the Dangote Refinery IPO was extended to October 27 following its historic launch on the NGX on September 14.NNPC, NLNG Listings: FG targets N750trn capital market, eyes $1trn valuation
