According to HumAngle, a report published by the
Digital Forensic Research Lab on Thursday noted
that open-source evidence contradicted the
denials of the Nigerian army.



Despite denials by the matter, the videos
showing the killings at Lekki toll gate are real,
it has been reported.

Forensic analysis of videos showing the killing of
protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate area of Lagos
by soldiers on Tuesday as authentic in spite the
Nigerian Army’s classification of the reports as
fake and the Defence Headquarters’ claim that
the footages were doctored.

According to HumAngle, a report published by the
Digital Forensic Research Lab on Thursday noted
that open-source evidence contradicted these
denials.

“Several videos corroborate the location and
presence of Nigerian soldiers at the Lekki Toll
Plaza, a major toll highway toll concession in the
South of Lagos,” said Jean Le Roux, the lab’s
Research Associate for Southern Africa.



“Video footage posted on Twitter place Nigerian
soldiers at the plaza where they are seen
approaching peaceful demonstrators and opening
fire. Subsequent footage shows injured civilians
being carried away from the same location.”
Using four videos, the DFRLab geolocated the
shooting at the toll-gate “despite denials by the
Nigerian military”.

The Nigerian army dismissed local and
international publications reporting on
the #LekkiMassacre as "fake news".

My investigation for @DFRLab looked at
the open source evidence placing the
Nigerian army in the presence of injured
protesters at the scene. https:///

“A different video shows what appears to be
soldiers of the Nigerian Army approaching
protesters where they were stationed behind
plastic barriers. Soldiers approached the group
and opened fire. No warning is heard in the
video. Muzzle flashes indicate that several of
the shots seen and heard here were fired into
the air,” it stated.

It confirmed using features close to the toll
gate and across the channel that the video was
taken “looking into a Northern direction on the
Eastern part of the toll gate, suggesting that
protesters were approached from both the east
and west by law enforcement, as suggested by
some witnesses”.

“Video footage also identified injured protestors
at the same scene. The author of a video
uploaded to Twitter on October 20 shows injured
and bloodied protestors with the author claiming
they were shot by soldiers. As the video pans, a
parking garage to the south of the toll gate can
be seen,” DFRLab continued.



“Another video taken in front of the toll gate
showed several injured protestors being carried
off in the presence of camouflaged soldiers,
presumably the same soldiers seen in the second
video above. At least two protestors are carried
away, while a third is seen on the ground during
the video,” it added.

Geolocation of the last video placed soldiers at
the Southern section of the toll gate’s Eastern
part.

“Despite denials by the Nigerian Army, open-
source evidence links the presence of Nigerian
soldiers at the Lekki Toll Gate at the same time
as the first reports of shooting came in,” the
organisation emphasised.

“Video footage also showed Lekki Toll Gate
protestors, who had been peaceful in the
preceding 11 days, bloodied and injured in the
presence of these soldiers.”

According to Amnesty International, an on-the-
ground investigation revealed that at least 10
people were killed when armed officials of the
Nigerian Army opened fire on the protesters.
“These shootings clearly amount to extrajudicial
executions. There must be an immediate
investigation and suspected perpetrators must
be held accountable through fair trials.

Authorities must ensure access to justice and
effective remedies for the victims and their
families,” it said.

Geolocation, tagging, perspective, bla bla bla.

Not one video showing directed fire at the crowd despite the thousands of people at the gate.

Whether the Nigerian government, army, or paid youths agree or not, this has been confirmed. International bodies and majority of Nigerians will nit be deceived.

Let it be known, same army massacred Shiites and haven't clashed with Sunnis who block roads every Friday to pray. This is a religious agenda of the north. The officer who lead the Lekki massacre is a northerner.
