Lekki Shooting: Army Admits Live, Blank Bullets Were Taken To Protest Venue
Brigadier General Ahmed Taiwo, a Southern Nigerian top officer who admitted the Military took bullets to the venue where armless protesters were protesting in Nigeria. It was a case of stylishly setting same kinsmen to kill his own people as the Fulani controlled Military in Nigeria keeps on his humiliation and incessant killing of Southern Nigerians. The protesters were calling on the brutal Police Department to be erased as it has turned into robbers, money extortioners, human degraders, and terror outfits
A representative of the army, Brigadier General Ibrahim Taiwo, stated on Saturday when he appeared before the Judicial Panel of Inquiry set up by the Lagos State government to look into the allegations of brutality by the section of the Nigerian Police that there were no life ammunitions fired.
The Police section is called the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), used as a tool to oppress the Nigerian citizens and humiliate those opposing the government. SARS has claimed many lives and the government of Mohammadu Buhari never held them into accounts, necessitating the outcry by the youths who wanted them disbanded. Many other issues were raised by the Nigerian youths seeking justice in a nation almost on the verge of collapse due to Fulani’s hegemonic regime planning the Islamisation of the entire nation.
Responding to the Enquiry panel’s questions, General Taiwo, who is the Commander of the 81 Military Intelligence Brigade, however, informed the panel and others present during the hearing that live rounds of ammunition were taken to the venue but were never fired on the protesters.
On cross-examination by Olumide Fusika, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), General Taiwo insisted that no one was shot dead, claiming soldiers only fired blank ammunition at the protesters and not live rounds.
He claimed that the live ammunition taken to the venue were meant for the protection of the army officers who were deployed to restore peace and quell the protest.
On the night of the protest, sporadic shootings ravaged the venue with evidence of people killed and scores more injured as the military battled the protesters.
General Taiwo said the soldiers only used blank bullets while their colleagues with live rounds were on the ground to protect their colleagues from suspected hoodlums who started the protest.
