Lekki Bank Robbery: Gov. Fashola Slams Reuben Abati In New Statement

Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola has responded in defence of his comments where he said that the visit of President Jonathan on March 12th contributed to the success of the Lekki daylight armed robbery incident. He also called out presidential media aide, Reuben Abati for calling his statement on the robbery 'unintelligent and irresponsible'. Below is his statement ;

"From the statement credited to the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity. Dr. Reuben Abatti over the comments of His Excellency, Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN, on the deployment of police during the visit of the president, it is obvious he is ignorant of the traffic and security menace, his principal constitutes whenever he visits any part of the country.  

It should also interest the ‘Vuvuzuela’ of President Jonathan that during these visits, which most of the times are for campaign hustles, the entire Police and other security network are put on high alert to pay attention to the presidential visits leaving the citizens vulnerable to the reckless gallivanting of the visitor.
