#Lekkimassacre: LCC condemns shooting, says CCTV still installed
The Lekki Concession Company has cleared the air about removing its CCTV cameras from the Lekki Toll Plaza on Tuesday.
In a statement, they explain that so far, they had been cooperative with the protesters.
They condemned the shooting stating that the cameras were still installed.
“LCC has cooperated with the protesters from the onset, identifying with the cause and need to end the police brutality. We provided lights, toilets among other items to the youths as a show of solidarity.
“As the protest progresses, our tolling equipment were being looted. We recovered items daily with the help of some of the protesters. Such items included air conditioners, violation alarm bells, monitors, keyboards e.t.c.
“On the 20th of October, we received feedback that some of the rolling equipment were being pulled off, hence we went into the lanes to recover more items including analogue BOSCH tolling devices used to monitor transaction carried out in the toll lanes.
“The perimeter closed-circuit television system (CCTV) are Mobotix Digital Camera. They were not removed and are still installed in the lanes even now. There was no instruction from anyone to remove the sprinter CCTV cameras. Removing them will require the use of machinery to reach the heights that they have installed and are still installed.
“We sincerely regret this unfortunate incident and once again condemn the shooting of unarmed protesters at Lekki tollgate and other location in the state,” they said.
