#ENDSARS: Lawyer Tells Lagos Judicial Panel To Summon Fashola For Discovering Camera At Lekki Toll Gate

Mr Adesina Ogunlana, a lawyer, has asked the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry on police brutality to summon Babatunde Fashola, Minister of Works and Housing, for discovering a ‘hidden’ camera at the Lekki Toll Gate after the October 20 attack by soldiers on peaceful protesters.

Ogunlana made the request on Friday while cross-examining Mr Abayomi Omomuwa, Managing Director of Lekki Concession Company.

Lagos judicial panel sitting today, 27th of November.


He appealed to the panel led by Justice Doris Okuwobi (retired) to call the minister to appear before the panel, stating that the camera found by the minister could be useful in the ongoing investigation.

Responding, Justice Okuwobi said Ogunlana must follow the proper procedure before Fashola could be summoned by the panel.

Fashola in company with Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and some South-West governors “discovered” a solitary unburnt camera resting on the ruins of the damaged toll gate.
Fashola said the camera must have been planted by “some subversive elements”.

He picked up the device with a handkerchief and handed it over to Sanwo-Olu.

He said, “I think this will help with the ongoing investigations into the shootings at the Lekki Toll Gate. It requires forensic analysis and could be used in the investigations to unravel the mystery surrounding the shootings at the toll gate, I believe.”

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
