The Managing Director of the Lekki Concession Company, Abayomi Omomuwasan, has submitted video footage recorded by the company’s surveillance camera on the night of October 20, when unidentified soldiers opened fire on #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki tollgate area of Lagos state.
Omomuwasan submitted the footage on Tuesday to the panel of Inquiry and Restitution set up by the state government to look into the allegations of brutality and high-handedness by personnel of the now-defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).
He explained that the surveillance cameras stopped recording at about 8:00 pm on that day.
According to Channels Television, investigations are ongoing to determine what really happened at the scene of the Lekki peaceful protests and who was responsible for the shootings.
The Nigerian Army has insisted that soldiers did not shoot at the protesters, despite viral videos showing men in military uniform firing the shots.
The acting Deputy Director, 81 Division, Army Public Relations, Osoba Olaniyi, in a statement last Tuesday, stated that the Lagos State Government had invited the Military to ensure peace after it imposed a 24-hour curfew.
