DJ Switch told CNN that protesters lifted bodies with bullet wounds and put them at the soldiers' feet.

"I said, why are you killing us? Why are you doing this," she said. "He expressly told me: 'I am acting on orders from above.'"


If his orders were to shoot at them, how were they able to approach him to drop bodies at his feet and even hold a conversation without getting shot?

. And accounts from eyewitnesses establish that after the army withdrew, a second round of shooting happened later in the evening.

Who did the second round of shooting? Why is this being glossed over?

There are videos of people very close to the police while they shot in the air or far into the distance. There were videos of people taking dead bodies or the seriously injured near to where the police were. There were periods of breaks and lulls in shooting when some protesters could talk to the military.

Use your head or pray for more sense.

When the army left, the police came. The name of the DPO of Lekki police station has been repeatedly mentioned as the leader of the police squad that came.

No massacre! They confirmed that the soldiers were there - they have fessed up themselves after trying to cover for Sanwo-Olu. They showed what appears to be two points of shots being fired and then protesters with bullet wounds... No direct link from shooting to victims and where are the bodies? They should keep digging - too many lies on all sides.

What happened with live bullets should not have happened if it were soldiers but getting the army involved was the right move and DJ Switch and others are wrong to imply that the Army should just leave them and hoodlums to destroy the country after a curfew was put in place to allow some protest but limited to a few hours.

This sort of nonsense if what gets developed countries destroyed by the same Western governments that employ the same tactics. Trumps and other Governors in the USA called the national guards, army involvement plenty in Egypt. The UAE with the help of the US crushed their own spring uprising while at the same time fighting Gadaffi and Assad. We have had so much going on in France that is not being reported = they used all sorts of weapons, short of live bullets - some of those can kill and have killed...

There was no MASSACRE - show us the bodies and how many? Nigeria needs to change but the last thing we need is foreign intervention to help us back to the Stone Ages - they will happily destroy us and take our OIL...

All those involved in murdering Nigerian youths protesting peacefully and waving the green white green flag must pay for their sins. They sinned not only against Nigerians youth, but against the very symbol of Nigeria and humanity.

Everyone of them involved, be it the president, chief of Army Staff, brigade commanders and actual soldiers who carried out the illegal order would be held to account.

Luckily Nigeria ratified the Rome Statute on 27 September 2001, and so we are subject to the ICC. After the immunity of this government expires, all those involved must be taken before ICC in Hague.

My mum started crying after watching the CNN report this morning, especially the part where a boy that was shot and while still lying on the floor in pains said if he doesn't live till the next morning, that he died fighting for Nigeria.

Nigerians and friends of nigerians with British passports can sign the petition below to ask the British government to sanction all government officials and their families involved in the lekki massacre/murders.
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/554150

Please let's not relent until justice is done to the murdered youths and their families

1. DJ Switch said they were shot at directly
2. Dj Switch said the soldier said they were ordered to do so - ostensibly, to kill of course
3. Yet you say in between rounds of shooting at people to kill them, they suddenly became so docile as to allow these people to approach them, and even have a nice amicable chat. And the people who were being shot at, instead of running away in fear for their lives, were so bold as to carry dead bodies and drop at the feet of the soldiers.
4. This same DJ Switch who recorded the famous live stream, couldn't capture any video of a dead body...despite claiming to have carried bodies herself


Are you using your own head?

5. So maybe the actions of the police are being conflated with those of the army?

Use a dictionary if you don't know what conflate means.

It's all about narrative

But this video this investigation, do you believe it's fake?

Ihatemumu:

Fake News can also include some truth... No one is now saying nothing happened at Lekki or the Army was not at Lekki and that there was no shooting at Lekki... But we need more evidence and facts - no grainy videos that does not even link together. If Soldiers were firing indiscriminately, how come there was very few stampede right in front of the soldiers and who will be so calm to be filming soldiers hooting real bullets anyhow...

Actually, CNN should also have acknowledge that flash bangs and blanks were fired - it is obvious because people are not falling down as the shooting was going on.

There were most likely live bullets involved but there were also blanks (they use them for training and are likely to have more than the ordinary Police (rather than riot police).

Just because CNN did not like Trump does not mean they will not defend their own country if they do unjust things to other countries. They embed themselves with aggressors and film a one-sided war and they will not do what they are doing to the Nigerian government if they were the ones killing innocents, blacks, browns in foreign lands. Enough is the bigging up of CNN!

So they were ordered to kill the protesters, but in between killings, the protesters

They are currently investigating the event
when the result is made known, we shall know what is close to the truth.
for now, I won't take that of CNN because they are CNN

Hearsay is too much in that report.

Hopefully all those who lost their loved ones will make a report at the sitting.
