Lekki Shooting: Nigerian Army Used Blank Bullets - Sani Usman by boman2014: 4:47pm On Oct 29, 2020 |
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.” https://dailypost.ng/2020/10/29/lekki-shooting-soldiers-used-blank-ammunition-ex-army-spokesman-usman/ Mynd44

“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.” Tor Yoruba says if lie runs for thousand years one day the truth will definitely overtake it. But to be frank, this country can makes someone run into mental problem[i][/i] |

contradictive statement here and there. the military response so far is in conflict with one another. southerners should have a little patient until power returns to South. it wouldn't be long. |

Live Bullet or Blank Bullet, the Question is Why did you Shoot Directly at Peaceful Protesters |

Naija house of Commotion. At first they said the military weren't present at the lekki toll gate Yesterday the military didn't shoot at protesters Today the military used only blank bullets to disperse protesters. Maýbe tomorrow they will come out and claim that Al-Qaeda was responsible. Mumu country and mugu majority followers. |
