In a post via her official Twitter handle, Omotola called on the family members of those who reportedly died during the Lekki Toll Gate shooting massacre to come forward.
She argued that if there were no deaths, people should stop with the sensationalization “because it does not remove from the Crime that happened.”
“If People died during the Lekki Toll Assault, let their people speak out please and if there were No deaths then enough with the sensationalization because it does not remove from the Crime that happened. PEACEFUL PROTESTERS WERE ATTACKED. WHY? BY WHOM! #EndImpunityinNigeria”.
The now-deleted tweet angered some Nigerians as they took to their various pages to lash-out at her for using ”if” and being “insensitive” to those who lost someone during the protest.
Some argued that the government had compromised her.
Upon hearing these allegations, Omotola took to her Twitter page to clear the air saying she has never received a bribe or a dime from the government.
“I am not somebody you can lure with money. I have never in my life been bribed by the government; I have never collected government dime” she said.
