OMATA'S DAMAGED IDENTITY FOR BELLO'S OFFENCE…… UNMASKING LEKKI'S UNKNOWN SOLDIER
OMATA: A TRADITION OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY
OMATA; the surname of Brigadier General F.O Omata is a
coincidence of confusion deep in controversy, founded on ignorance, associated
with two flourishing coastal communities; Lekki in Lagos and Onitsha in
Anambra, both have absolutely nothing to do with the Nigerian army one star
General, Francis Omata!
To the man in the flourishing business city of Onitsha, OMA
A means only one thing...
ONITSHA MARKET TRADERS ASSOCIATION (OMATA)
The man is not a trader, but a soldier; a General at that, the
closest geographic proximity Omata has with OMATA (by the evidence of the
online medium Lailas News) is Federal Government College in Okigwe, Imo state,
the secondary school Francis Omata attended.
If Omata escaped the "ambush" of OMATA, he was in for
a bigger surprise.
….. the mistaken identity of February 13, 1976 in which bullets
for Olusegun Obasanjo were accidentally fired at Colonel Ray Dumuje by Dimka's
coup colleagues has happened again!
Dr. Nowa Omoigui, in his account, titled:
"The Dimka's Coup Attempt of February 13, 1976"
...wrote about Obasanjo's mistaken identity of Dumuje this way:
"His would be assassins mistook then Colonel Dumuje for him
along Awolowo road in Lagos, seriously wounding that officer"
http://www.gamji.com/nowa/nowa3.htm
This time, public opinion fired the bullets of accusation at
Brigadier Omata, as the butcher of Lekki, responsible for Lt Col S. O. Bello's
offence!
…. LT COL S. O. BELLO
and not Brigadier Omata is the unknown soldier responsible for
the blood of Lekki!
LEKKI MASSACRE EVIDENCES
EVIDENCE 1: SATELLITE EVIDENCE….
SATELLITE SENTIMENT PROJECT by RENO OMOKRI.
Reno Omokri said:
"Images of all soldiers responsible for Lekki massacre
captured by satellite, will be sent to UK-Reno
"He said since he received the intel of the plans of the
Nigerian Army, he already planned with the Satellite Sentiment Project, and
they were the ones who carried out their images, even though the CCTVs were
uninstalled before the massacre."
http://opr.news/s2b6f7c5e201021en_ng?client=mini
EVIDENCE 2: AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL..... INVESTIGATIVE EVIDENCE
"Evidence gathered from eyewitnesses, video footage and
hospital reports confirm that between 6:45pm and 9:00pm on Tuesday 20 October,
the Nigerian military opened fire on thousands of people who were peacefully
calling for good governance and an end to police brutality.
Witnesses at the Lekki protest grounds told Amnesty
international that soldiers arrived at about 6:45pm local time on Tuesday
evening, and opened fire on #EndSars protesters without warning. Eyewitnesses at Alausa
protest ground said they were attacked by a team of soldiers and policemen from
the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) Unit at about 8:00 pm, leaving at least two
people dead and one critically injured."

OMATA'S MISTAKEN IDENTITY FOR BELLO'S CRIME
Evidence 1: LAILAS NEWS.COM
"DJ Switch who captured the shootings on an Instagram live
video mentioned Brigadier-General Francis O. Omata as the presiding officer who
gave the shooting order."
https://www.google.com/.../who-is-brig-gen-francis.../amp/
Evidence 2: OMATA'S SELF DEFENSE
“I didn’t command the soldiers nor was there when shots were
fired. I rushed to the scene and arrived about 39 mins after and identified
myself and pull back the soldiers.
The soldiers were from there 65 Battalion Bonny camp led by
their commanding officer, Lt Col S. O. Bello.
My only mistake was that when I got to the scene I was screaming
my name to alert the soldiers about my presence and people at the scene picked
that up and ran with it”

his account published in PM News, titled:
"Lekki Toll Gate
shooting: Who is Brig. Gen. Francis Omata?"

PUTTING THE FACTS
TOGETHER….THE TIMELINE
STEP 1: OPERATION
CROCODILE SMILE: OCTOBER 20, 2020
Vanguard in an
October 18, 2020 article titled:
"‘Operation
Crocodile Smile’ not against #EndSARS protesters ― army"
"Musa Sagir,
army spokesman, In a statement on Sunday, said it is wrong to say the exercise
is targeted at protesters who are out in major cities across the country.
He said “The
attention of the Nigerian Army (NA) has been drawn to some social media stuff
wrongfully condemning the Army and its Leadership over the announcement of
Exercise CROCODILE SMILE VI particularly the Cyber Warfare Component of the
Exercise. This year’s Exercise CROCODILE SMILE is scheduled to commence from
the 20th of October to the 31st of December 2020 has no relationship with any
lawful protest under any guise whatsoever,”
https://www.google.com/.../just-in-operation.../amp/
STEP 2:
Lagos State Governor
declared a curfew for 4:pm.
Olasunkanmi Akoni and
Idowu Bankole in their report of October 20, 2020 titled: "UPDATED:
Sanwo-Olu imposes 24 hours curfew in Lagos"
"I, therefore,
hereby impose a 24-hour curfew on all parts of the State as from 4 pm today,
20th October 2020. Nobody, except essential service providers and first
responders, must be found on the streets.”
Babaji Sanwo-Olu
Governor, Lagos State
https://www.google.com/.../breaking-sanwo-olu.../amp/
STEP 3: October 20,
2020
Lagos State Governor
shifted the curfew to 9:pm
Abiola Odutola of
Nairametrics, wrote:
"State Governor,
Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu has directed that enforcement of the 24hour curfew in
the State should not start until 9pm to enable people stuck in traffic get to
their destinations."
https://nairametrics.com/.../breaking-endsars-lagos.../
STEP 4: October 20,
2020
Unknown soldiers
arrived without evidence of invitation by the Lagos State Governor.
In a report titled:
"End Sars protests: People 'shot dead' in Lagos, Nigeria", dated
October 21 2020
BBC wrote:
"An unnamed
witness told BBC News that shortly before 19:00 local time soldiers
"pulled up... and they started firing directly" at peaceful
protesters.
"They were
firing and they were advancing straight at us. It was chaos. Somebody got hit
straight beside me and he died on the spot," he said."
https://www.google.com/.../news/amp/world-africa-54624611
STEP 5: October 21, 2020
Nigeria Army denies
involvement
Victor Enengedi of
Nairametrics under the headline:
"#EndSARS: Nigerian Army denies soldiers shot at
Lekki protesters"
...wrote:
"Following
multiple reports of rounds of gunshots aimed at #EndSARS protesters last night at the toll gate,
the Nigerian Army via its official Twitter handle posted series of screenshots
of such reports and tagged them “FAKE NEWS”.
https://nairametrics.com/.../endsars-nigerian-army.../
Corroborating Victor
Enengedi's report, Aanu Adegun of the online medium, Legit, wrote under the
headline:
"Lekki killings:
Nigeria Army denies involvement"
…..the following:
"Following the
unprovoked attack on protesters in Lekki tollgate, the Nigerian Army
headquarters has denied deploying soldiers to shoot and kill innocent Nigerian
youths.
The army consequently
branded any news report linking soldiers at the tollgate as fake news."
https://www.google.com/.../1376533-nigeria-army-denies...
UNMASKING THE UNKNOWN
SOLDIER
1 By the EVIDENCE of
Reno Omokri through Satellite Sentiment Project and their AERIAL EVIDENCE
attack was by the Nigeria Army.
2 By the evidence of
DJ Switch the name Brigadier-General Francis O. Omata was heard!
3 By the evidence of
Brigadier-General Francis O. Omata, corroborated the evidence of DJ Switch that
he was there and did call his name to bring the soldiers under control
4 Brigadier-General
Francis O. Omata identified LT COL S. O. BELLO of 65 Battalion Bonny camp as
the butcher of Lekki
IMPORTANT
OBSERVATION:
By the combined
evidence above, the butcher of Lekki is….
LT COL S. O. BELLO,
Commanding officer,
65 Battalion,
(Brigade unknown to
this writer),
81 Division, Nigeria
Army
Lagos.
...and not Brigadier
Omata, the Training officer of 81 Division Headquarters, Lagos.
The online denial of
the Army, as against what happened on ground especially the actions of General
Omata, tend to suggest an attempt to cover up Lt Col S. O. Bello by the
military authorities.
THE BIG QUESTION
Is this another case
of Malami shielding Captain Tijjani Balarabe from justice?
Adelani Adepegba in
his June 11, 2020 story in the Punch, he titled:
"Taraba
killings: Confessions of killer soldiers Malami shielded from trial"
Wrote:
"Wadume was
allegedly assisted to escape on August 6, 2019, by the soldiers attached to
Battalion 93, Takum, led by Balarabe after the police team which arrested him
came under attack from the troops."
https://www.google.com/.../taraba-killings.../%3famp=1
The Nigeria Army owes
Omata the right to a restored reputation, if they decline, perhaps the
INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT, under Judge Chile Eboe-Osuji will!
....Omata is not
OMATA, just as Lekki is not Onitsha!

NOWA
BLOOD AT LEKKI: PART 2
FROM THE BLOOD OF LEKKI TO THE DESTRUCTION OF LAGOS
…..THE LAGOS FOR LAGOS 40% PLAN
What started out as an interesting arrangement of numbers at
first light; 20 10 2020, ended up in....
"Them leave sorrow, tears and blood
Them regular trademark"
(The lyrics of Fela Anikulapo-kuti's hit recorded in 1977.)
The events of October 20, 2020 at Lekki was the catalyst that
triggered off a chain of provocative and unwarranted responses, leading to the
destruction of Lagos by IMPLOSION! Those responsible for the destruction MUST
be held accountable for RESTORING it to its pre October 20, 2020 status as an
urgent matter of NATIONAL UNITY!
Who destroyed Lagos?
Answer:.........
WHAT IS LAGOS?
Eromo Egbejule, in a Friday, 15 May 2020 article, updated on
Monday, 18 May 2020, published in The Africa Report and titled:
"LAGOS IS A COUNTRY"
…..provided this details:
"On its own, Nigeria's economic capital would rank as
Africa’s seventh-largest economy. Known for its traffic snarls and
entrepreneurial dynamism, Lagos is a megalopolis with mega-needs."
https://www.google.com/.../28089/lagos-is-a-country/amp/
EVIDENCE FROM PART ONE.
1 THE EVIDENCE OF DJ SWITCH
"DJ Switch who captured the shootings on an Instagram live
video mentioned Brigadier-General Francis O. Omata as the presiding officer who
gave the shooting order."
https://www.google.com/.../who-is-brig-gen-francis.../amp/
2 THE EVIDENCE OF BRIGADIER-GENERAL FRANCIS O. OMATA
"The soldiers were from there 65 Battalion Bonny camp led
by their commanding officer, Lt Col S. O. Bello.
My only mistake was that when I got to the scene I was screaming
my name to alert the soldiers about my presence and people at the scene picked
that up and ran with it”
https://www.thegeniusmedia.com.ng/.../i-didnt-order.../
It should be noted that
Friends
Associates
Family/Kinsmen
of Brigadier Omata, took firm steps on social media to correct
the wrong public perception of their principal; General Omata, who himself in
his SELF DEFENSE, had no choice but to disclose that it was LT. COL S. O.
BELLO, who was responsible for the gory event of that black Tuesday at Lekki,
just the way Danjuma under pressure of being accused as being responsible for
the death of Ironsi and Fajuyi, revealed that it was Second Lieutenant Garba
Dada "Paiko" responsible for the death of both men.
DANJUMA ON SECOND LIEUTENANT GARBA DADA "PAIKO"
In a reprinted interview, titled:
"I lost control after we arrested Aguiyi Ironsi —
Danjuma" published by The Vanguard on July 28, 2019, Danjuma stated:
"If you read General Gowon’s book, it’s there. They named
names of the people who actually took Ironsi away....
What’s the name of the Adjutant?
Garba Paiko!
He (Adjutant) approved of what the boys did."
https://www.vanguardngr.com/.../i-lost-control-after-we.../
CONSEQUENCE OF EVIDENCE:
From the evidence, LT COL S. O. BELLO of the Nigeria Army ( A
Federal Institution) was responsible for the killings in Lekki, that makes the
Federal Government liable
Bello's action triggered the destruction of Lagos, for this
reason....
Because Bello is a Federal Officer who raised his weapons and
cut down people, an action that made tempers rise and led to the destruction of
Lagos in the process, the Federal Government is RESPONSIBLE for the destruction
of Lagos and must...
....FOOT THE BILL FOR THE RESTORATION OF LAGOS....
....to the way it was just before Lt Col S. O. Bello's
"madness of massacre"!
LAGOS FOR LAGOS: FUNDING THE DESTRUCTION:
….LAGOS RESTORATION COMMISSION
Lagos is not just Lagos, it is a National pride! ...The former
capital!
It is not "no man's land", but it is the home of a
hospitable people and the critical infrastructure MUST be restored to their pre
10, 20, 2020 status. To restore Lagos, I propose a
LAGOS RESTORATION COMMISSION,
To be chaired by the Deputy Governor of Lagos State, to consist
of Federal officials and the private sector
The commission shall:
(A) Assess the scale of destruction, broken into
1 Insured Public assets.
2 Non insured Public assets.
3 Insured cultural/historical assets.
4 Non insured cultural/historical assets.
5 Insured private assets.
6 Non insured private assets.
7 Insured SME assets.
8 Non insured SME assets.
(B) FUNDING: It is proposed that a proportion of proceeds from
all the PORTS in LAGOS to a PERCENTAGE of NOTHING LESS THAN 40%
BE DEDICATED TO THE COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESTORATION OF LAGOS TO THE STATE AND
THE STATUS IT WAS BEFORE October 20,2020
because the destruction was caused by a PROVOCATIVE FEDERAL
AGENT in uniform!
THE SAID PERCENTAGE MUST BE SUSTAINED TILL THE RESTORATION IS
COMPLETE!
(C) PRIORITY: Priority should be given to the replacement of all
BRT buses. However because it will take time to
Order
Construct
Import
Deliver
Deploy
a new set of buses
Accelerated Federal funds from the Ports in Lagos, should be
used to fast forward Lagos State's rail system, as the fastest way to ease the
impact of the destruction on the transportation system, between when the
Commission is inaugurated and when the replacement buses arrive.
(D) The Lagos State Government may have to reconsider restoring
the online motorbike transportation system to manage the post crisis,
transportation crisis
(E) Private and corporate Interests should contribute their
widow's mite
BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF THE DESTRUCTION OF LAGOS

state.
Still counting....
Several Yoruba heritage buildings and private properties burnt
down "
MATTER OF URGENT NATIONAL SECURITY
To avoid a degeneration to a serious ethnic divide, elements of
which have surfaced in the Fagba area of Lagos, considering the fact that
1 Lt. Colonel S.O Bello the officer who precipitated the
destruction is from the North.
2 Colonel Umar who has a lot in common with the President
-both are Northern Fulani
-both are retired officers of the Nigerian army
….observed the lopsided structure of Nigeria under Buhari in his
letter dated Sunday 30th May 2020 and titled:
"MR. PRESIDENT; PLEASE BELONG TO ALL OF US"
in which the retired Colonel wrote:
"One of the swiftest ways of destroying a Kingdom is to
give preference of one particular tribe over another or show favor to one group
of people rather than another."
...and then added
"At this time and in the light of all that have happened
since you took office, any conversation with you Mr. President cannot gloss
over the chaos that has overtaken appointments into government offices in your
administration. All those who wish you and the country well must mince no words
in warning you that Nigeria has become dangerously polarized and risk sliding
into crisis on account of your administration’s lopsided appointments which
continues to give undue preference to some sections of the country over others.
Nowhere is this more glaring than in the leadership cadre of our
security services.
Mr. President, I regret that there are no kind or gentle words
to tell you that your skewed appointments into the offices of the federal
government, favoring some and frustrating others, shall bring ruin and
destruction to this nation"
https://www.thecable.ng/breaking-your-lopsided.../amp
...the Federal Government MUST as a matter of National security
accept responsibility and funding.
WRONG STEP "FOREWARD"
No only was the speech by the president too little too late as
it was
belated and
lacklustre
It failed to address the LEKKI MASSACRE perpetuated by Lt.
Colonel S.O Bello of the Nigeria Army, an organization under him, in his
capacity as Commander-in-Chief!
The systematic attack on the peaceful protesters by thugs in the
build up to the anti climax was not healthy for the reputation of Buhari's
Government.
The point was made in a publication by the Punch on October 15,
2020, it titled
"Outrage as thugs attack protesters in Lagos, Abuja, #EndSARS hits Kano"
https://www.google.com/.../outrage-as-thugs.../%3famp=1
Why didn't the security forces protect the protesters?
The online video account of a well trained driver (in a suit
controlling an SUV in a standing position) on Ademola Adetokunbo crescent,
Abuja into which thugs ran is not healthy for the reputation of the government.
Buhari, it seems, is going the way of Ironsi's steps of blunder.
If the dust is allowed to settle on this issue as it did after
January 15, 1966, when anger inspired rumours, Buhari may just as well be
reinventing the ugly events of July 6, 1967, that culminated in January 15
1970. If we allow July 6, 1967, there may well be no January 15 1970!
…..let the Federally Funded Reconstruction of Lagos begin....as
an urgent matter of NATIONAL SECURITY
What FOREWARD is Buhari writing?
Ironsi's or Gowon's?
