Chief press secretary to Lagos State governor Gboyega Akosile has joined the hashtag #LekkiLies on Twitter.
The hashtag became a topic of conversation following a report by the US Department of States that it could not verify if #EndSARS protesters were killed at the Lekki toll gate in Lagos on October 20, 2020.
The US department disclosed this in a report titled ‘2020 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices: Nigeria.’
Mr Akosile joined the conversation on Thursday, revealing an encounter he had with his daughter.
He tweeted, “A trying time. An opportunity to know true friends, family, colleagues etc. My daughter stood up to me, to ask a direct question, “dad, tell me the truth! Painfully, I told her “if I lie to other ppl in the world, I won’t lie to you.” She believed me. That was enough. #LEKKILIES.”
