Two witnesses on Saturday narrated before the panel on police brutality in Lagos how soldiers shot at protesters at the Lekki Toll Plaza on October 20 last year and “carried lifeless bodies” into their van.
The protesters were calling for an end to police brutality when they were attacked by soldiers at the toll gate.
Olamilekan Sanusi, who appeared before the panel, said he was part of those who volunteered to clean the protest ground, especially the stage area. He said he counted “at least 10 bodies after the gunshots”.
Mr Sanusi said that at about 6:30 p.m., he heard gunshots and saw people running towards Oriental Hotel.
Olamilekan Sanusi, an #EndSARS protester, says soldiers opened fire on demonstrators at the Lekki tollgate on October 20, 2020 and carried the victims' dead bodies into their vans.
