The Nigerian Army has said that they have not received any formal petition over their alleged shooting of unarmed #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki Tollgate on Oct. 20.

The counsel for the Nigerian Army, Mr Akinlolu Kehinde , made the assertion on Saturday before the Lagos Judicial Panel of Inquiry and Restitution for Victims of SARS Related Abuses ad Other Matters.

“Unfortunately for reasons known to most of us, the Nigerian Army could not give their testimony when they were summoned on the last adjourned date. It is a very respectable organisation. Earlier, Mr Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika the counsel representing seven #EndSARS protesters had said that he had been unable to make a formal claim on behalf of his clients before the panel.

“We applied for the copy of the instrument establishing the panel by the governor, but we were refused on the ground that freedom of information Act does not apply to Lagos State.

Lekki Shooting: Nigerian Army changes position again, says troops had 'blank and live ammunition'“One officer was wounded, he was stoned on the lips. If we are attacked with stones, the only option is gunshots,” an army general said. When you are all ready to speak the truth and come out clean, no one will tell you all, on your own you will all confess one by one when the blood of those killed cry out for vengeance. Nigerian government and lies. They might say it's Boko Haram.
