EndSARS Protests: Army Insists Only Blank Bullets Were Fired At Lekki Tollgate

The Nigerian Army has insisted that only blank bullets containing gunpowder were fired at the Lekki Tollgate area of Lagos State on October 20.

Commander of the 81 Military Intelligence Brigade, Brigadier Ahmed Taiwo, made this known on Saturday when he appeared before the Judicial Panel of Inquiry set up by the state government to investigate cases of police brutality. He also insisted that the military only fired into the air and not directly at the #EndSARS protesters.

While explaining that the blank bullets used cannot cause any damage to the flesh, Brigadier Taiwo said if real bullets were indeed fired, one bullet had the potency to kill three persons at one shot.

Okay. That is to say; as the army were busy shooting blanks, the protesters were busy piercing themselves with live ammunitions. Well done mr presenter, I can't tell a simple Lie.

I've learnt a lot from this govt.., more jokes to entertain me till 2o23

Each week with different story on dis issue...hmmm

Gbefun...

At first, the Nigeria Army said they were not involved in the lekki tollgate massacre, that those personel seen on the viral video were not of the Nigeria Army. Now, only blank bullets were fired, and blank bullets can't do any damage to human flesh. Shame on them all...!

People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.” ― Alan Moore, V for Vendetta

If you think you fired blank bullets or you indeed actually fired blank bullets but people got severely injured & scores died, then you are a murderer. Officers involved in the lekki shooting must be tried and prosecuted for killing innocent Nigerians. This shouldn't be a debate

Why the firing in the first place...were they terrorist? Why the firing... By everything everybody knows, the people of this country respect Army to the bearest minimum... Only the presence of soldiers were enough to restore any iorta of disorder

Is because this has been their system all the while....now the government has forgotten that we cant be mumued any more it is too glearing from all the point and statement since this case. God help us all

Ejor pls enlighten me ooo. This judicial panel, shey person no fit counter what another person says ni abi u just give your own account and go... Pls enlighten me cos I don't understand all these lies oooo

In all of this, it was the comment of the Attorney General MalamiSan that irked me the most. Spoken like a layman, much unlike the professional he is.

Story for gods..... We are tired of this WickedNess... EndBadGoveranceInNigeria EndBadGovernanceinNIGERIA What are they taking Nigerians For? MBuhari realDonaldTrump CNN BBCNews.

Why shld we believe any video army bring as evidence, am 100percent sure d video is Photoshop. Nonsense end bad government

Sir MalamiSan Were you the one that told us those people on army uniforms were hoodlums? Don't you think we deserve an apologies sir? As we wait for the apologies, may I reiterate that all we ask is good governance and not sycophancy. IT'S NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK. Think about it sir

Some people we still not just make heaven even if it is declared free.

😂🤣😂 blank bullets! Liars & murderers! Nigerian government.

Hmmmm

Wetin come concern una with the spar looted .... No be una start am .... Isn't that what you guys want?

Fake News

who lies more than Buhari's government?

Akoko ifo

Small small, truth dey come out... At first, it was there were no shootings. The narrative has now changed to only blank bullets were fired

And next day, the governor visited victims of 'blank bullets' in various hospitals.🤦 EndSARS Why do people who are suppose to be professionals enjoy so much lies?

But they denied even being there 🤔let alone shooting, now it's blank bullet. Hmm we are truly in a mess with this bunch of liars we call leaders

Lie no dey finish. You lie small to tell a bigger one.

Forces beyond our direct control

Sack this people dem too lie

Where is Tukur Buratai? Fulani cabals have run you Nigerians aground. Shame.

Lying ass mfz Disgusting 😏

bhangkhie Hay gawdddd😩😩😩🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

ONLY GOD KNOWS HOW MUCH I HATE NIGERIA NOW.... NIGERIA IS THE EPITOME OF DARKNESS..... EndNigeriaNow

Lie Lai army

EndSARS My question: even if at all, why should blank bullets be fired at peaceful protesters ? What’s the need to scare away peaceful protesters demanding their rights ? And of course people die from blank bullets and am yet to see where it was fired at peaceful protesters !

First they were not there, then they were invited, they didn’t shoot, it was photoshopped and now they shot blank bullets. When victims surface, it would be; it was not us. I wonder who else was there. We would get answers even if it’s fragments of it.

Something is cooking Who ordered? Does he has d power to do so by law on unarmed protesters? Was Sanwolu/tinubu aware? Dis military has been killing nigerians oncode eg shitte/ipob etc

🤡🤡🤡🤡s game on! Why the bullets in the first place?

Why were the toll cameras switched off? Why did people die? Who remembers Fela’s unknown soldier saga? The more things seem to change, the more they remain the same.

Liers.. Corrupt leaders. With all the whole evidence from day 1.. B4 dis country go better, It will take a very long time...

You'll get to the truth gradually, just keep changing your stories.

This is a season film... Me I am just watching

TadyJerry They urgently need the services of scientific liars

They wanna tell you o, tell you o, tell you o Another story o, story o, story o 😭

U lie

Y'all denied your presence at the scene Why do you hate Nigerians so much?.

You are beginning tocofess, please continue.

Form the videos were photoshopped to the army was not there, to we were invited, to it was Hoodlums in military uniform, now it's blank bullets. Who knows what will be said next.

All I know is that wikipedia has documented the whole incident and significantly indicting the Nigerian Army. The whole fact they didn't document was that 'Casulities' are disputed. So it means, there were casualties... People were wounded, people were killed.

SEzekwesili Please someone should educate me, what's blank bullet

Why would you fire any bullets at people who didn't pose any threat? Where is the evidence of the threat that saw bullets fired? Where?

EndSARSv2

Blank Bullet that killed dozens. No wonder FemAdesina said Buhari did not use his full wrath to treat the protesters, other wise the massacred would have been alarming.

I beg who watch chucky 🧟that scene where he changed the ammunition into live rounds?

Ohh soo now dem shoot!!

So were did the blood come from ? Blank bullets? 🤔🤔🤔

Blank bullets yet hundreds were gone to eternity....how plausible does this sound to you?

Do these look like blank bullets? The Nigerian Army is clearly telling lies....

All this denial and lies make me loose trust in anything the Nigerian Army have to say. The Governor is not exempted and the Presidency.

First of denied thier presence at the tool gate now also denying that they used live ammunition on the peaceful endsars protesters... now the Nigerian army are saying they used blank bullets so blank bullets killed people right! Tired of my dear country Nigeria

What is the meaning of 'blank bullets' for goodness sake

Let them continue telling lies,the truth will still come out when time is due HQNigerianArmy EndSARS

So how did people end up being wounded?

With this; all u tell us about boko are all lies! PhD in lielieology

Watch as a lawyer among the penal Grills Brigadier General over Amy role during the Lagos judicial panel sitting Don't forget to click on the red subscribe button for news trending news

LIARS!!! All that is hidden shall be made known and every secrecy shall be exposed it's only a matter of time.

OK.. Keep lying..

Hmmmmm after the long wait they finally agreed

And they say they aren't looking for DJ Switch?

You guys should quit the lies pls..🚶🚶

How on earth will u have the intentions of opening fire on unarmed citizens protesting for their right. Be it blank bullets or not, u shouldn't have done that in the first instance and u expect us to believe it's blank bullet when we watched it LIVE

Sir let me use the blank bullet on you and see how it will react. Lie is cheap

Just zoomed into the pic, ABEG HQNigerianArmy what concerns 'Vandalised and Looted SPAR LEKKI' with the shooting & killing of unarmed protesters at the tollgate Please calmly explain the correlation here because I can't see any...

Pls invite Prof. Utomi he lived not too far from the venue of the incident & he was the first witness of army shooting that night which he even reaffirmed on TV

Agreed but wat killed those that died?

Hmmm! Shame to the Nigeria. Was there no sign of bullets at the lekki tollgate. Why are we making life more complicating to the society. No democracy, no justice, no honest leaders and, no scrupulous Security Agencies

I want to believe it's all Photoshoped as you've said previously, we are not safe in this country anymore, lies everywhere...

But they said no soldier was sent now, how come we now heard only rubber bullets or blank bullets were shot? No country ppl lie like ours

🤡🤡🤡

I thought they said they weren’t even there much less fire their weapons. Oh so they have admitted that they actually did fire at peacefully protesters?

Even the army denied being there in the place.

Remember the HQNigerianArmy tweeted the reports were fakenews to now admitting we fired blank bullets at EndSARS protesters at Lekkitollgate? This no dey add up like further maths with integration and differentiation. AishaYesufu falzthebahdguy Ebuka comman see oooh

.🖕

Lethal blanks

Una don really see mumu, but una go soon understand that you guys are meesing up with the wrong generation. Anyway, we are getting closer, at least the HQNigerianArmy have admitted they were present after first claiming it was all fake news, jidesanwoolu admitted his consent.

I hope the end of this won't be a massive disgrace for the Army, especially when the international community begin to roll out key evidences. I think telling a National Lie should be at least well articulated. Just imagine. 4 Lies, 4 denials, 4 contradiction, 1 truth

Blank bullets that led to real deaths and genocide

You all are thieves with uniform

God go judge this country. Wicked people.

Why are they displaying 'looted SPAR, Lekki' for crying out loud? We say u sud admit d crime u did toll gate, ure showing us spar, how did spar concern u? Something that's supposed to be thorough interrogation, dem turn am to project defense, mtcheeew, radarada oshi!

But there's admission of being there & firing at ENDSARS PROTESTERS?

Oh, I see that the people sanwo olu visited at the hospital were the ones protesting on air not land since na Air dem dey fire gun... Yeye dey smell.. Yansh don dey open 🤣

Oh, so now they’ve agreed that they were there and they shot something 😂😂😂

First ,they werent there ... now its was the governor that invited them ,now it is blank bullets? But do blanks fire on rapid !!! .. but we are watching

So jidesanwoolu you ordered the killing of innocent and peaceful protesters at Lekkitollgate you killed your citizens......How do you sleep bro EndSARS EndSWAT LekkiMassacre2020 EndPoliceBrutality

Lol blank bullets, the survivals from the lekki toll gate incidence were picking up live ammunition .. and FYI hospitals treated gun shot wounds .. just stop the lie and say the truth

Lool. So bullet now have different colours? Fine art soldiers.

Liars They first denied they were not there...later they accepted, but didn't shoot Now, they accepted they shot but only blank bullets. Set of Clowns Just disgracing us up and down

If it blank bullet how come life was lost and people injured, that I don't seem to get so let them enlighten us more.

And people died 🤦🤦

I thought army said they weren't the ones there Oh, they finally agreed they went there. Now it's blank bullets abi🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Fake News

Do I have blank Bullet ?

I thought they weren't there in the first place...🙄

Liers from hell

and blank bullets killed people i hope the children who have fathers as murders can now see it

The question is, why would the Nigerian army shoot at unarmed protester's? A force that's supposed to protect and secure citizens... Whether the bullets were blank or not... two things remain certain... You shot and people witnessed the it...

So many controversy in the lekki shooting, a lot of accusations and deniers..... Right from day one, I know the government is up to something to me nothing good can come out of the so called panel.

The truth is around th corner

How come this? How did blank...... Injured people Sanwo Olu visited

Please what is blank Bullet, sha they blank bullet did not come from the GUN? WHY THEM THEY TALK LIKE SAY WE NO GET SENSE EHN. SHA NAH BLANK CHECK NI.

But they weren't there na. I'm tired of fake news!

FAKE NEWS

HQNigerianArmy abi you people are mad ni blank bullet... okay na the same blank bullet will kill your whole family oloriburuku ppl

HQNigerianArmy people died ffs

You guys were never there how come una shoot blank bullet? 😂😂

blank bullet were fired but there were casualties. dis country is mess. The military will just lie and nothing will be done to punish them or the people involve

Magical blank bullets, not just blank bullets.

Ok

We are almost there, God at work....blank bullets with so much hospitalization had casualties...at least Sanwo-olu confirmed two persons died from bullet wounds...stop killing the time WhoGaveTheOrders

Why did you fire in the first place.. are you guys mad or what.. we are not there, we are invited but not fire.. which on to believed?.🤦‍♂️

Bloody liars..useless country

Why even fire in the first place? Whether live or blank bullets, the protesters were armless and harmless and didn’t pose any threat. So why shoot at peaceful protesters?

So they have agreed there were there. That’s a good starting point.

They only shot blank bullets. Does the Nigerian army have blank bullets?

a time will come that you guys will have to speak the truth bout the lekki massacre but then it will be too late.

You never reach the truth Before it is ' there's no shooting ' Now nah blank bullets wey dey kill innocent protesters

But they initially said that the army were not at the Lekki Tollgate on that unfaithful day, now is Blank Bullet they use. This country is finished 😈😈

adematinfo It's only in Nigeria that blank bullets pierce people inside out 😤

Only blank bullets were fired ,yet jidesanwoolu went to visit those that were affected in the hospital. Blank bullet now kill and breaks bones ? Keep contradicting yourselves.

So the live ones we saw were what? Una go still jabo, it’s small small

They used blank bullet indeed, we are all fools in this country abi...

ayemojubar The useless Soldiers be like

Adults lying like small pikins. These people have no iota of the fear of God. Blank bullets Kwa? Oga o. Only God that'll judge you guys.

But they termed it 'fake news' earlier. And 'sanwo said forces above him'. Who are the forces again? Who ordered the shooting?!

Channelstv should be asking the Army if its within their job jurisdiction to stop protesters in the first place. I thought the IGP released anti-riot police? Did the Army highjack them? Channels should be asking this sort of questions not reporting this okoto

We getting closer

This is just consolidation meeting The outcome will be far worst than a jungle justice Stuffs like this has always ended up as a total waste of time and ridiculing Nigeria justice system But justice must prevail and imminent no matter how is delayed.

First, it was not the army that shot at protesters. Now, they fired blank bullets. Tomorrow.......hmmmm

So blank bullets don't kill abi.. EndSARS

FAKE NEWS!!!

Oh wow..we’ve got them from “the army wasn’t there” to “the videos were photoshopped” to “only blank bullets were fired”... their yeye is smelling...

'blank bullets' that killed many innocent Nigerian youths. Shame on u. Some buharidindinrins were arguing that the video was from a movie that their babadindinrin acted. I hope they still maintain their narrative now.

But I thought they said they weren't even there in the first place.

I don't even understand the aim of this enquiry, we all know that they will all lie, who are they going to submit the results to? The government? that is involved, The judge? Tell me the last time someone get good justice against government. As for me it is useless and annoying

Black bullets or blank bullets? Didn't they say they were not there? So they lied. Why should we believe them, especially when we saw the effects of their 'blank bullets'. No Nigerian with the right heart slept on 20-1020 - the night of LekkitollgateMassacre

HQNigerianArmy are so dumb. At first they denied there was no shooting and it was photoshoped and also they denied the shooters are not officers from the Nigerian Army. Today are are confidently admitting the bullets fired at Lekki Tollgate are blank bullets. Shame on you

Shame on you people channels tv, where were you on the night of the shooting? Why didn't you bring us live updates on what happened at lekki toll gate? Instead you went blank and your station was off temporary. Why are you reporting about the shooting at lekki toll gate now?

I wish it was blank bullet,we wouldn’t have lost our heroes that died on that day

Why didn't dey allow the panel into their hospital

Whao! Blank bullets killed innocent youths. I pray you have children and you reap what you are sowing today🙏🏽

The truth is coming out photoshoot now blank bullet 😂😊

This is what have been telling people that army can't used real bullets on peaceful prosterters...but because of the hatred they have for Tinubu some tribes gaterred to destroyed our Lagos , God shall judge them ,Yoruba's need to wise up and stop accommodating them,God bless

88ideass HQNigerianArmy lied. They fired live bullet at peaceful protesters at Lekki tollgate then go on to deny involvement.

Blank bullets my foot... We all know dat army didn't release d bodies of dos shot..

Hmmmm

Las Las, una don soro soke. Heavens Don send confusion into your midst

They finally agreed they shot, why did you shoot? Is it a war zone?

Those dead bullets found are from where?

This is Nigeria 🇳🇬 😂

Pls what is the name of the army man representing the army.. I want to know which tribe he is from so that I can fire thunder for all his dead and present generations

HQNigerianArmy una no get shame at all,very soon everybody go bear he mama name,lie lie force

Before no army was at the seen, Later army were at the seen but did shoot After,army shooting was in there air Now they admit the shoot but a blank bullet Very soon they finally admit they shoot a life bullet in the unarmed protesters GOD SAVE THKS NATION 🙏

The findings continue

They weren't there..........They didn't shoot.........They only shot blank bullets..... Issokay

But they have been saying they had nothing to do with the shootings. Why are they now saying they shot blank bullets?

Which blank bullets the Nigeria army lies more than Satan himself

Liars...

The story keeps changing like a bad monkey post.

So they nw agree they were there......

See I don tire 😂 😂 blanks were shot okay I agree how come people have bullet wounds and how come the panel saw real bullet shell at the venue

Shameless lairs. Your game is up

I think the army should watch the videos at the toll gate from Protest Day 1. Some of the protesters reportedly had guns on them.
