TV footage submitted by the Lekki Concession Company has revealed that soldiers arrived at the Lekki tollgate on the night of October 20 in seven military trucks before the alleged shooting of protesters began.
This was revealed on Saturday at the resumed viewing of the CCTV footage by the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Judicial Inquiry probing the alleged killing of #EndSARS protesters by soldiers at the Lekki tollgate on the night of October 20.
The footage showed that the scene was calm until about 6.43pm when people could be seen running towards the tollgate from the Oriental Hotel end.
Two minutes later, at 6.45pm, the seven military trucks with flashing headlights arrived at the scene.
But at 6.53pm, about 10 minutes after the arrival of the military vehicles, the tollgate was thrown into a blackout.
And two minutes later, at exactly 6.55pm, one of the military vehicles drove through the tollgate to the other end where the crowd of protesters was gathered.
