Earlier this week, the Lekki Concession Company (LCC), submitted to the Lagos Judicial Panel on Police brutality, the video footage recorded by the company’s surveillance camera on the night of October 20, when soldiers opened fire on unarmed #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki tollgate area in Lagos.

The video footage was submitted by the Managing Director of LCC, Abayomi Omomuwansa, at the 4th sitting of the panel of Inquiry and Restitution. He said, “I can confirm that inside here is the video footage that our surveillance camera was able to record for the 20th of October.”

The request was opposed by Abiodun Owonikoko, legal counsel to the FG, which was overruled by Justice Okwuobi.

Amnesty International reported in October that the Nigerian army and police had killed at least 12 peaceful protesters on the 20th of October at two locations in Lagos.

    I’m sorry for this country called Nigeria. How can a counsel to FG oppose the viewing of the footage in full? Is the FG defending itself of misdeeds? This is pathetic. And I hope the LCC is not complicit in the whole shenanigan.

    I know that one day we would have a better President who speaks to the heart of the people; able to assess the magnanimity of people’s agitation; and address it in a timely manner to avoid the ugly incident and chaos we experiences in Lagos and some other states.
