The government of Lagos State, South West Nigeria, has rejected the judgement of the Federal High Court that ordered the administration of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to pay an Uber driver tortured during the EndSARS memorial, N5 million. This is coming barely a week after his re-election, as the governor of Lagos State, as the state has now filed a notice of appeal against the judgement.

Lagos Governor, Sanwo-Olu Rejects N5million Compensation To Uber Driver Tortured During EndSARS Memorial, Takes Case To Appeal CourtThe brutal attack on the Uber driver was widely reported, following which the civil society organisations and rights activists condenmed the attack, describing it as unacceptable.

Recall that a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos State had on March 13, 2023, ordered Governor Sanwo-Olu's administration to pay the sum of N5 million as compensation to Adedotun Clement, an Uber driver who was severely tortured on October 20, 2021 at the Lekki Toll-Gate during the first EndSARS anniversary.

The brutal attack on the Uber driver was widely reported, following which the civil society organisations and rights activists condenmed the attack, describing it as unacceptable. In a Notice of Appeal filed on Tuesday, March 21, 2023, but served on Friday, March 23, signed by Dr Babajide Martins, the Director of Public Prosecutions in the Lagos State Ministry of Justice, the government said there was no evidence that the Uber driver was tortured.

Dead conscience Governor sanwo olu, settle the man you sent military to brutalized, wave off shame and do the needful.

I ONLY PITY THE GULLIBLE ONES THAT THINKS APC/SONWU OLU MEANS WELL FOR LAGOSIANS, MAKE I DEY LAFF IN CHINA.

Sanwo just woke up

No problem, your Excellency! Patience is a virtue.

They should have met him before the election. He could have doubled it for the guy

He has rigged/won the election so the beast in him is out again jidesanwoolu

The court delayed he should have been given the order before election

Law is not working in Nigeria 😭😭

election don finish na😂

I knew it. Sanwo Olu is a green snake in a green grass. Left for the people to decide on the 18th of March, he will be packing his belongings in the govt. House and be ready to leave there. This is becos people are already tired of him nd his corrupt Oga.

InibeheEffiong i sight you, keep the good work on.

Obidiots should pay or GRVlagos should do so. Not Sanwoolu!

“…My father made your yoke heavy; I will make it even heavier. My father scourged you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions.” 1st Kings 12:14 If BOS's 1st term was Solomon, the 2nd will be Rehoboam. The little finger of the 2nd will be thicker than the waist of the 1st.

He has spent so much during campaign and visitation, he needs to start saving.

Oga done win election mouth done strong 😂😂

You all sharpened his teeth and claws - what do u expect? After subjecting himself to what he will see as public humiliation just to solicit for your votes , you think he will be nice . Get a chair , sit back and watch… unfortunately, this is just d beginning

I know it would end in this . May God help us with this wicked government 🙏🙏

chude__ Elections are over

If na woman now dem go buy house join am .

Why did he have to wait until after the election to reject the compensation? I guess we all now know that gov Sanwo-Olu is a pretender and a deceiver.

Lagos state is to pay the money,isn't it ?

jidesanwoolu you're a hypocrite at it's highest order, and I pray you start taking steps to repent, so that the later experience won't be worse than the former.... The race is still on.. redeem yourself

Elections has ended, he is now king ‼️

Chai... Going to appeal because of just 5M? jidesanwoolu Sir you're way bigger than this nau.

Una never see anything

Jackals, deceivers

We tell them but they dance to the drum of tribalism that politicians play for them

Lmao… is the Uber driver also from ibo? Just asking for my yoruba brothers 😂😂😂

Sanwo-Olu criminal

jidesanwoolu as you have been selected yet you can’t compensate this guy with 5million just as the court ruled. Are you that heartless? It’s a small world don’t forget that….

Why Dem no do this case before elections na, this man would have been smiling to the bank 🏦

He would have paid 20million if it was during election, election is over.

chude__ This is our the youths are. Just calming down to hear court orders. We are not lazy youths we want freedom.

Na Only Lagos be Nigeria problem or what why should this man get 5m

Opportunity to start rewriting history he just messed up back to factory settings

Hmmm. But I thought the governor said on arise TV that he has compensated all those that are involved and they he has obeyed the panel set up for the endsars. Or was this just part of the campaign ginggles

chude__ Can Satan change?

Not his fault, this judgement should have come before Guber election, this one that was going from house to house, church to church and even street to street looking for jobs he will do for free is now strong enough to be rejecting court judgement, I know he would pay N6m B4.

Ohhhhhhhh... 😡 how come this judgement no come prior to his rigging victory. He would have gladly Paid N10 million and even dash the guy a new Uber car join!

That means the inbounded cars he gave out he will look for them to collect his money too ?

LoL APC He was running around the street of Lagos faking good Samaritan but now he has gotten back the stolen mandate given to him by corrupt INEC officials. Now he is rejecting a brutalized innocent Uber driver. 😂

Election don finish,oju aiye don end

THE ELECTION IS OVER THE NICENESS IS DOING THEN IS OVER, RIGGER

Election don finish...baba back to who he was

Mumu Governor, had it been it was before election he would have quickly credit the guy’s account. Because of 5m you are going to Appeal Court? 🤦🏽‍♂️

So the promises made before elections is just a waste 🗑. God why did you brought me to this country 🇳🇬 😆😆

But can go as fast as possible to donate a 100 million to people of akure spare part market,O! what a governor

chude__ And he's a Yoruba man 🤣🤣. Yoruba man injustice to another Yoruba man who wanted to destroy Lagos. Mr governor don't pay anything.

Because election has finished. Had it been the young man got the judgement a week to election, Sanwolu would have paid him.

Elections are over

Crazy leadership everywhere

What do you expect he don rig himself back to powe,now na pay back

Election don finish na

He even try master Chichi won't give him such, maybe 75k and say is a poor man. Check the tribe of the driver, they need to be questioned.

Naija citizens never learn 🤦‍♂️

Kudos to Sanwo Olu. More action against the ingrate

He for don go ask before election . The man has gone back to default

Sanwo Olé will never find peace. If he doesn't do the needful to that Uber driver, evil shall be portion and family line.

Just 5 million haaaa God

🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 elections are done.

Baba is back to factory settings. I expect all those okada men rigmaroling in Apapa now to start packing their load.

Election is over

Lol if it happen before election he will even dance to his house with his entourage and a fat cheque also help them prepare pepper soup for dinner😆 let’s leave tribe our leaders don’t rate us.

I have no business in anything dt concern Yoruba ppl. They said Igbo's should put mouth. I move. So they won't use me settle their problems tomorrow

They will prefer to use the 5M as bribe, rather to save anybody.

Injustice of governance & recklessness

If the election is next week, he would have called this same guy for photo op and give him the check in front of media cameras. Dude eats and sleeps hypocrisy.

Baba jide don cast before the election he was sounding all nice his true colour don show oya na let go dere

Hahahahahaaaa🤣🤣 Their choice, their headache.

pastorbolaji is this the kind of man you introduced to your congregants? the day of the Lord is coming very soon and He promises that His judgment shall begin in His house

If this had come before the election,the gov. couldn't have waited a bit to accept and pay him.

People who ever believed or voted APC by now should know how stupid they are - jidesanwoolu just wanted votes any promises before election are scam as usual

After election

But why...what is 5million? Only 5m

Hmmm

Lagosians back to square one 😆 🤣 He is not going to church again 🙄 😒

This guy fit don vote for sanwo olu cos he was released before the election

akliveen Una never see anything 😂

These are the kinda tough stands this governor has to take instead of the useless pandering after incurring billions in losses to arsonry.

Election is over.

He should have waited till he is sworn in

Wetin Yoruba man do Yoruba man! Do y’all now see that our enëmy isn’t the Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba but the politicians!! Won’t be surprised if same Uber guy voted Sanwo-Olu..Sad Really!!

Hahahahaha clowns

Una never see anything for this country, Suffer part two na him una dey like this

True color is coming back on

Usually, second term of any Governor is usually to your tent o Israel. They misuse their power in the second term. And the monsters in them eventually comes out. Do anything they don't care.

Hahaha

The leopard shows his true colours. When he was campaigning, he virtually turned a houseboy. I hope GRV brings a really strong suit against him and the APC.

This political corrupt individual claiming to be leaders lack everything in the world that is appropriate to define a leader. No show of leadership in them whatsoever.

You dey carry that guy dey play 🤣😂🤣😂🤣him go change asap

If I sit in the appeal court as one of the judges I will increase the money to N50 million.

Kobo, you no go see. Na fed govt brutalized you ,no be Lagos state govt.

getmotivatedng Heartless politicians still forcing themselves on us. And use police to oppress us.

May all Yorubas who supported him out of bigotry suffer in his government more.

😆 election don finish na

If it was before election sanwo olu will give him the money and will even pay him a visit and post it on social media. I fear who no fear politician

Sanwo Olu really played on the Yorubas intelligence to the extent that the lagosians played an ethnic card to their own real son Gbadebo. T With time they will fully realize their mistakes

Una never see anything yet. Sanwo Olu go show una shegey for this second term. Just wait....

What do you expect before. His body language towards Endsars saga shows everything.

Why u no collect the money before election day? If they can owe all the women of Ikorodu community, who you be?

Sanwo!!!

Dear jidesanwoolu, you would have gladly paid if this comes before election. True or false sir?

Imagine wickedness

D guy for don push d agenda well 4 election

But how much is 5m. Money they dash women for one night stand. Some even build houses for such women overseas o

Why would he accept to pay the 5m when he has already won the election.

Election don pass... The beast in Sanwo Olu is back

Damn!!! They r back to their old ways...

Lmao

EbaseMatthew Oh wow

My greatest pain is how people actually came out last Saturday and still went ahead to vote this humongously inhuman soul... Like did people actually expect him to be any better? What were they thinking?

He don win, shoulder pad don high again

They should have pressured hard few days before election,he would have paid without hesitating,now that election has ended,it will take the Grace of God to make him succumb.

Didn't I tell you that Sanwo Iku wicked pass king Nebuchadnezzar? If the brutalised young man had died, Sanwo Iku would have gladly paid. Shame on you, Sanwo Iku, the disenfranchiser of educated Yoruba and Igbo voters.

He is no more playing football or tweeting after every 10secs. He has rigged himself back into office but I trust God to disgrace him. 🌽 man!

That's a pure reason never to trust politicians who have questionable character. It's quite unfortunate.

Nigerians would never get sense. Even an infant is more wiser than 99.9 % of Nigerians. Suffering has manipulated their brains and they don’t think like human anymore. APC will show you fire. Una never see anything.

That man is something else

Everything jidesanwoolu was doing b4 the election was all fake I said it. Now his real satanic attitude has surfaced…!!

The election is over. He is back to real himself, the real Sanwo-Olu.

Baby tyranny pro max activated
