Her message read:
“*FROM MY HEART*:
“It is with a very heavy heart that I write this morning concerning the wanton recklessness of the Nigerian Army in the massacre of Nigerian Youths whose only offence is to demand for a better Nigeria.
“I CONDEMN IN TOTALITY, the extreme use of force against our unarmed youths at the Lekki Toll Gate last night and demand that the Govenment investigates and brings to justice, all those who participated in this heinous crime against humanity.
“I commiserate with the families of these young patriots who paid the ultimate price in the defence of our country. I pray that the good Lord will comfort them during these trying times.
