Who is deceiving who.
The Nigerian Army today exposed the double faced Lagos state governor, Babatunde Fashola, over his involvement in the deployment of military men on Lagos streets. 

Army spokesperson, Col. Mohammed Yerim in a statement he read to journalists at a press conference in Abuja yesterday, said that troop was requested and sponsored by the Lagos state government to restore order.

Col Yerima said that "While the Defence Headquarters do not wish to join issues with any individual or groups regarding the matter, we wish to state categorically, in the interest of the larger society, that there is no element of truth in those claims".

He went further to clarify that "the soldiers seen on the streets of Lagos are still the same men of the special task force code named Operation MESSA set up and sponsored by the Lagos State government long before the fuel subsidy protests, for the purpose of supporting the civil police in protecting lives and property as is the case in many parts of the country".

"The men of the task force who are currently in Lagos have been there and were not brought from outside Lagos. They are members of the Lagos State Government sponsored Operation MESA and the demand for their withdrawal is therefore uncalled for".

There have been demonstration in Lagos after the NLC suspended the fuel subsidy removal protests over the deployment of troops in Lagos. The executive Governor of Lagos state, his party officials, 'Save Nigeria leader, Tunde Bakare and some civil right groups were involved in condemning the Federal government about the presence of these soldiers.
