Some persons with injuries on Friday stormed the Lagos Court of Arbitration in Lekki, the hearing venue of the Lagos State Panel of Judicial Inquiry probing the alleged shooting of protesters by soldiers on the night of October 20 at the Lekki tollgate.
The injured persons, who came to the LCA in a white bus, claimed they were victims of the alleged tollgate shootings soldiers.
They were accompanied by a banner-carrying group, New Nigeria Network.
The spokesperson for the group, a lady, said, “We have people with amputated legs; we have people with brain surgery in this van; we have dozens of them that are yet to be discharged. This is from Lekki tollgate massacre 2020. We want justice. We don’t want to be silenced; we don’t want to be marginalised even in our own country.”
But the Nigerian Army has consistently denied shooting at or killing protesters at the tollgate.
