The media celebrity criticized the hijackers on Instagram for allegedly changing the story about how police used tear gas to disperse them on the evening of Thursday, September 21, 2023.
She said:
“We can all agree that every country has its issues and every country’s police have its issues and Nigeria is not exempt. But what I will not agree with you people on is you trying to gaslight me and every other person on what happened yesterday night, trying to change the narrative”, she began.
She added, “Let me ask y’all this, what was the reason everyone left their houses yesterday? For Mohbad’s candlelight procession right? And where did it happen? At the park in VI. Now tell me how did people leave the park for Lekki tollgate? We can all agree that the organisers said ‘You can all go home’, we all saw when the event ended at 8 pm, you saw the celebrities, you saw everyone going but some people decided to pack themselves to Lekki tollgate.”
Tacha continued by praising the Nigerian police for their quick response and pointing out that they had repeatedly begged the demonstrators to vacate the tollgate but to no effect. She then kept chastising the defaulters for their behavior.
“If you want to come out and protest, no problem, but we didn’t come out to protest yesterday,” she said. If you want to protest, choose a date, get it sanctioned by the authorities, and then go demonstrate. Put an end to changing the story. You folks only want to raise concerns when none exist. I’ve seen recordings of the Nigerian police pleading with you all to go home, but you people refused. Kudos to the Nigerian police for their persistence.
