The Lagos State Judicial Panel on Restitution for victims of SARS and other related matters on Saturday played a series of videos submitted by a witness, Serah Ibrahim, who claimed that soldiers of the Nigeran Army directly shot at protesters during the #EndSARS protest of October 20, 2020, at Lekki Toll Gate, Lagos State.

Ibrahim, who described herself as one of the #EndSARS coordinators, had on 17 April submitted a used bullet and two flash drives in which the videos were contained as evidence of shooting at the Lekki Toll Gate.

Speaking before the panel, the #EndSARS coordinator explained that she personally shot the videos on the night with her iPhone.

Videos of some persons who suffered gunshot wounds from bullets allegedly shot by the military with protesters surrounding them and trying to tend to their wounds.

According to her, soldiers shot at the harmless protesters and even took away some of the dead bodies.

The videos of two mothers who claimed to have lost their children at the protest ground were also played.

She specifically mentioned that one of the active protesters, Lekan Sanusi was thought to be dead and the soldiers took away his body.

She said she later found out that he was taken to MRS Hospital at Bonny camp where an unidentified nurse helped him to escape.

When asked if she could authenticate the videos as to the time they were taken and the location, she explained that it could be verified using Google Drive and she proceeded to demonstrate how it could be done.

Serah is expected to continue her testimony on 15 May.

The army has repeatedly denied that it fatally shot at protesters and the Federal Government has corroborated the position.

However, witnesses, including Obianuju Udeh, a disc jockey better known as DJ Switch, have insisted that the army took away bodies at the protest ground.

Amnesty International reported that 10 persons died during the event, a figure disputed by the Nigerian government.
