Veteran Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has tendered a public apology after discounting reports of death following the Lekki toll gate shooting.
She incurred the wrath of Nigerians in her bid to warn people against sensationalizing the Lekki massacre that occurred on Tuesday, October 21.
She wrote:
“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.”
Following numerous backlashes on social media, Omotola has apologized after deleting the tweet and reacted claiming her comments were misunderstood and admitted making a mistake.
She added:
“I hope you know I don’t doubt people died ! I hope you understand that we need to collate these now and not continue with the I’m dissapointed I’m leaving talks. Get Angry again. We Can’t stop.”
The mother of four posted a video of a doctor at Doren Hospital who confirmed one person died after he was shot in the heart.
