Lekki Shootings: Seyi Tinubu’s Firm Explains Reason For Switching Off Billboard

Loatsad Promomedia Limited an advert company owned by Seyi Tinubu, son of former Lagos governor Bola Tinubu, says it turned off the billboard at the Lekki toll gate based on the state governor’s curfew request.

The billboard provided lighting around the toll gate.

There had been claims that the decision to turn off the billboard was part of the plot to attack protesters at the Lekki toll gate on Tuesday.

However, in a statement on Instagram on Wednesday, Loatsad Promomedia denied the allegation.

“When the ‘EndSars and ‘say no to police brutality’ protests started from day one, we wholly supported the movement and used all our platforms to promote the messages (I believe the promoters can verify this information) as we believed in the cause,” the statement read.

“On Tuesday, when the curfew was announced we heeded the governor’s warnings and didn’t want our staff in any danger, hence by 3 pm our staff had been ordered to leave the site and the board was switched off based on the governor’s curfew request.

“We had no idea what was going to happen and we feel the same anguish, pain and shock at the events that unfolded and our hearts and prayers go out to the victims and families of this ungodly act.”
