Nigeria’s giant Ad-company, Loatsad Promo media has finally reacted to claims of being accomplices to the yet unidentified military men who opened fire on peaceful protestors at the Lekki Tollgate last Tuesday.

The advert company which is owned by Seyi Tinubu has categorically communicated to the general public that the Lekki Tollgate billboard was turned off because of the governor’s curfew orders.

In a press statement sighted on the Instagram page of the company, they detailed the cause of their action as below;

“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 

On Tuesday, when the curfew was announced we heeded the governor’s warnings and didn’t want our staff in any danger, hence by 3pm 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.”

The company also added that they are strongly against police brutality and believe in the #EndSARS movement, further indicating that it was the start of the change needed to move the country forward.
