The Nigerian Army on Friday is reported to have filed papers before the registry of the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry & Restitution.

This is ahead of its appearance before the panel on Saturday, with respect to the alleged shooting of #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki tollgate on the night of October 20, it was disclosed that the testimony of the Army is to be heard first before the panel (today) Saturday.

Meanwhile, the documents filed by the Nigerian Army include witness statements of the Commander of 81 Military Intelligence Brigade, Victoria Island, Lagos, Brig. Gen. Ahmed Taiwo; the Chief of Staff, 81 Division, Nigerian Army, VI, Lagos, Brig. Gen. Nsikak Edet; Commander, 81 Division Garrison, VI, Brig. Gen. Francis Omata; Commander, 9 Brigade, Ikeja, Brig. Gen.

Furthermore, it was stated that it has also submitted 13 flash drives containing the recorded videos of the soldiers’ involvement in the incident.

Additionally, it was stated that the Army will also be bringing before the panel expended and unexpended blank ammunition, which was used to disperse the crowd by firing into the air on 20th day of October, 2020.

However, it is uncertain as to whether the Army will still make itself available today having regards to the adjournment of the panel’s sitting till November 10 due to the inability of the panel to watch till the end on Friday, the video footage of the incident submitted by the Lekki Concession Company, operator of the Lekki tollgate.

This is because, the panel was only able to watch for four hours, the twenty hours video footage.
