Former Director Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Sani Usman on Thursday claimed that Military personnel who shot protesters at Lekki toll gate used ‘blank ammunition.

Usman in an interview with Arise News said the blank ammunition used to disperse protesters has little or no effect on its target.

Recall that the Army had earlier denied that its officers were present at the scene of the shooting.

But on Wednesday, the 81 Division of the Nigerian Army (NA) revealed that the Lagos State Government invited the military to intervene during the End SARS protests.

Speaking on Thursday Usman said, “If you look at the canisters, they were blank ammo and blank ammo don’t even kill. At a close range, maybe 100metres – maybe it will have some pigmentation on your skin.

“Remember the military are armed and by the nature of their training, they are trained to kill and I think the military in its wisdom instead of using live ammunition decided to use blank armour which is meant for training.

"I think they should be commended for that otherwise there would have been serious collateral damage, but they were professional enough to have done that.”

It is obvious to even the reasonable blind that no live ammunitions were fired into the crowd. If that happened, we would see the results. The fake "massacre" was a political con job by extremist but myopic propagandists.

So how or who do we believe

If the military said they were NEVER at the Lekki toll gate the day of the massacre, then how were they able to shoot blank armour
