Lt Col S. O. Bello.
Brigadier General Francis Omata has finally spoken out after he was reported to have ordered the killing of protesters at the Lekki Protest ground on Tuesday.
Brigadier General F.O Omata has been the subject of many discussions across social media as many Nigerians threatened to mete out on his family same pains he caused upon many families of the people that were killed.
In his defence, the Brigadier General Omata denied the allegations, stating that :
“I didn’t command the soldiers nor was there when shots were fired. I rushed to the scene and arrived about 39 mins after and identified myself and pull back the soldiers.
The soldiers were from there 65 Battalion Bonny camp led by their commanding officer, Lt Col S. O. Bello.
My only mistake was that when I got to the scene I was screaming my name to alert the soldiers about my presence and people at the scene picked that up and ran with it”. It was not me.
