Addressing those who attended the Tinubu rally he organized on Sunday, October 9, MC Oluomo alleged that the Lekki Massacre was a political ploy by the Peoples Democratic Party and the Labour Party's presidential candidates, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, respectively.
He also demanded to know where the bodies of those killed were kept or buried, stating that it was all part of a plot to destabilize the Yorubas.
MC Oluomo said;
“Where are the bodies and where are they buried? Do they have relatives in Nigeria? Has Nigeria bribed the mothers of the deceased protesters? Why are their siblings not searching for them, even on social media? Or is Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu a Chief of Army Staff or President who will order the killing of protesters at the (Lekki) Tollgate?
“They’re lying to us, they want to undermine the Yorubas, everyone should come out. It is a political game. It was Atiku and Obi that conspired to do all those things then.”
MC Oluomo's question was framed as a challenge to those who said protesters died at Lekki.
But the wider story reveals a more difficult question: what happens when families are left searching for answers years after a public tragedy?
Disputes over the circumstances and number of deaths require evidence, independent investigation and careful reporting. They cannot be settled simply by asking where the bodies are.
And when a family has spent years trying to recover a missing relative, the absence of a body is not proof that no death occurred.
The question is not merely where the bodies are buried. It is whether every family searching for answers has been given the truth, the evidence and the opportunity to lay their loved ones to rest.
