Femi Ashekun/
A forensic company, Sentinel Forensic Limited, has testified before the Judicial Panel of Inquiry and Restitution set up to unravel details of the shooting that resulted in the loss of lives at Lekki Tollgate during the EndSARS protest on October 20, 2020.
The company’s representative, Joseph Kayode Funsho, while testifying before the panel said the live ammunition fired at the tollgate were discovered to have been registered to the Nigerian Army.
He, however, said the blanks didn’t match the records from the Nigerian Army’s inventory.
The company’s findings contradict the claims of the Nigerian Army.
In November 2020, Commander of the 81 Military Intelligence Brigade, Brig. Gen. Ahmed Taiwo, while testifying before the panel insisted that only blank bullets containing gunpowder were fired at the Lekki tollgate on October 20.
He also insisted that the military only fired into the air and not directly at the protesters.
The panel adjourned hearing till tomorrow.
