Serah Ibrahim, one of the coordinators of the #EndSARS
protest, has tendered bullet shells and flash drives containing photos and
videos as evidence of the shooting at the Lekki tollgate.
Ibrahim gave her testimony on Saturday, April 17, during the
resumed sitting of the Lagos State Judicial Panel on Restitution for victims of
SARS and other related matters.
On October 20, 2020, soldiers of the Nigerian Army allegedly
opened fire on peaceful #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki tollgate.
At a previous sitting, Serah had told the panel that she was at the Lekki protest ground every day and a witness to the tollgate shooting.
Continuing her testimony on Saturday, she tendered two flash drives containing photos and videos that suggested that the Lekki Concession Company (LCC) had more footage capable of revealing what exactly happened on the night of the incident.
According to her, over five different cameras were on the
ground, but most of them have now been removed.
“We have here pictures of cameras that were at the tollgate and not just the one camera footage submitted to the panel by the LCC. We had three drones flying that particular day. From the drone videos, there were two army men standing under this particular toll,” she said.
“Also, there are cameras directly behind the generator. If
the footages from this camera are presented, it would show that LCC staff were
present that night. This camera shows directly to the Oriental Hotel where the
army came from and where they parked three vans. One of the vans later moved
towards the protesters, while two of the vans stayed there. And these two vans
were the vans that conveyed bodies of protesters.
“There is a camera directly on top of Oriental Hotel. If LCC
insists that they cannot find the camera, then I suggest we ask Oriental for
their own.”
The witness also held up a live bullet as evidence before
the panel.
After giving her testimony, some bullets which the witness
said she picked up from the ground during the shooting were admitted in
evidence by the panel.
The panel also granted a request by Serah’s lawyer to summon
K.F. Gbajumo, the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) director of
hospital administration, who allegedly issued a memo prohibiting his staff from
giving out information on the victims.
