The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has rejected the judgement of the Federal High Court that ordered his administration to pay a cabbie who was a§§aulted during EndSARS memorial, the sum of ₦5million.
Recall that the court had on March 13, ordered the state government to pay the said sum to Adedotun Clement as compensation for the tort¥re he was subjected on October 20, 2021 during the first EndSARS anniversary at the Lekki Toll-Gate.
According to SaharaReporters, following the judgment of the court, Effiong wrote a letter to Governor Sanwo-Olu on March 16, 2023 demanding compliance with the judgment.
