Coronabirus: She can't prove anything here but allegations. If I take her to court can she prove what she alleged with evidence beyond reasonable doubt before a competent court of law? She can't, we've seen many people denied being killed, no families formally complain about missing children in the same scene. The truth will come but it's so unfortunate how people spread unverified news.
Please search for this topic on nairaland.: Emerging facts on lekki shootings. Soldiers went to the toll gate and open fire on peaceful protesters that is the fact
cybertruss: I am still waiting. Please prove to me that this video was taken in 12 century before they gave birth to our great grand fathers. Still waiting
You dry mind the mad ones trying hard to hide the truth. An adage says it lies run for 20 years it takes just one day for the truth to catch up with it.
NGpatriot: Slow down and stop mixing apples and oranges.
This is not about isolated incident that happened in the middle of nowhere.
This happen where hundreds of people were present, nit a single documentation of 78 people dying and bleeding anywhere.
Endless shots must have been fired to kill 78 people, but we saw the video, it was a few shots in the air.
78 shot people must have multiple bullet wounds which means blood everywhere, but no sign of blood anywhere?
So, soldiers showed up to massacre 78 people and she watch it all transpired, she then in front of the same army walked around to count 78 bodies.
When she was done counting,, the army then came in with a lot of trucks to cart away 78 bloody bodies and still no blood anywhere, she saw this all by herself.
She then showed up at the hospital with wounded people and not a single sing of trauma, shock or one single word about massacre or dead people.
Nigerians, I hail thee, una sabi lie for worldwide olympics.
Even your lies sef no dey make sense, just stupid, childish and comedic lies.
All I can see in you is one who brain has been eaten by maggots. If you don't have brain use your skull now!
ibedun: Calm down brother. Massacre is different from shooting.
Everybody went mad and angry when they heard “massacre” in Lekki.
The 2 who died did not die from gun shots. No more spreading hatred please.
For your info, no matter how much people tried to change the narrative, army was there as attested by brigadier general Francis omata and governor sanwo olu! They were there at 7 pm for curfew that has not been violated yet. Remember curfew starts at 9pm. Light was switched off, security camera removed at the scene... Very sinister and evil intentions identified here. Then they shot at unarmed protesters who were only waving national flag and singing national anthem. Whereas several flash point requiring army attention are scattered across Lagos the shameless army choose the most peaceful most organised place in Lagos to show off. I m sure general buratai was aware of all the scheming otherwise dem no born those soldiers well to do what they did there at lekki toll gate! It is shameful! Those they shot were unarmed simple.
hakeem4: Yeah I somehow agree with you. But I know I saw someone die on DJ switch live.
At best you’d have said the social media exaggerated the whole situation, not saying people did not die
Don't mind the dimwit! Whether people died or not, army never deny they went there (Brigadier general Frank omata) and that there was shooting of the protesters. Are they suppose to shoot protesters who only had national flag and singing national anthem.
OneKinGuy: Evil miscreants will do any thing to destroy nigeria. Imagine falz telling CNN there was a massacre. Maybe people where killed that day in lekki, about 1 or 2 persons. Their lives still matters and I strongly condemned the killings, but the way Nigerian stated shouting massacre was overwhelming. They even made a Wikipedia page named 'Lekki Massacre' That same day, many people died through the country but everyone was just interested in lekki.
Even the army was interested in lekki despite plenty hot spots demanding attention from them they concentrated on lekki! Does that explain the attention??
OZOnNengiTheory: The useless international community, out of pure hatred for Nigeria was quick to condemn the 'massacre' but will be quiet now that the truth has come out
Useless you! Army brigadier general frank omata said he was at the scene of the shooting at lekki toll gate and that he was shouting for the shooting to stop! Go get a life. This evil you support ll consume you soon enough! Human life is sacred even if cow life is sacred to your tribe!
ivolt: “It's Easier to Fool People Than It Is to Convince Them That They Have Been Fooled.” – Mark Twain.
Note the title, this topic is not about whether there was shooting at the scene, it is to expose the unproven massacre narrative that have plunged many states into total or partial anarchy.
Some anarchists protest organizers grew impatient, just like Stalin, they needed a plausible event that will shake the world. And voila, we had the "Lekki massacre".
The international community condemned the alleged "massacre" in Lekki based on unverified tweets from extremist protesters. After basking in the euphoria of being seen as human right activists, many of these tweeters have gone underground.
These celebrities are now in a quandary. Unlike the illiterate mass in Nigeria who swallows everything they see on Facebook, serious organisations have been demanding for concrete evidence of a massacre but nothing have come up yet. You would expect that those who wants to destroy the country will provide the definitive proof for hundreds of dead at Lekki tollgate. Till now, nothing except some fake pictures. But their aim was achieved destruction of lives and properties.
Despite having various online sessions to deliberate and collect evidence, none of this massacre tweeters could provide one, not even one person who died via the shooting.
Now that they have been exposed for telling unfounded story, they have turned their attention to full propaganda. What they did next is to display bullet casings and some wounded people as evidence of a "massacre". You would have been seen such videos making rounds. This also didn't stick with critical thinkers because it doesn't prove a massacre.
In order for the hoaxers not to lose face, their next line of deceit is to start collecting random missing people's picture as the "missing dead" in Lekki because that is a more believable lie and difficult to debunk.
One of those missing pictures being paraded as Lekki victims happens to be a man declared missing in Kogi about one month ago! I won't be surprised if they start recruiting and coaching new people to narrate the "massacre".
Having being ridiculed for all the holes in their initial story, some are even claiming that it is not soldiers that shot protesters but the disbanded SARS. They want maximum emotional manipulation of the gullible. Remember, the only real evidence of a massacre are people who died from gunshot wounds!
While these was going on, the smarter ones among these anarchist who don't want to be seen as irrational have been revising down their number of deaths from 100 to 78 to 15 to 12 and 4 and even 1. But they are carefully insisting on calling even 1 death unrelated to gun fire a "massacre". Words have meaning, so is massacre.
We have seen the wounded in the hospital, guess what? Their body was not riddled with tissue penetrating bullets as we would expect from the tales told about soldiers firing live bullets directly into a crowd.
The headlines has also been shifting from Genocide to Massacre and now Shootings as reality dawns on many commentators.
Even in repressive regimes where the government controls all news and have deathly penalties such as Syria, hard evidence of a real "massacre" were presented when it happened.
But be warned, if you raise this issue and ask for evidence among your friends or colleagues they are going to hate you for challenging their irrational beliefs and even call you a government agent even when some of them passionately campaigned to install the current government in 2015.
The Lekki tales has broken a record. It is the first "massacre" in world history where nobody died from direct fire from soldiers.
Until we see real evidence of a massacre, this remains a hoax. This fake news should stop with you.
You are callous and insensitive! Facts are already emerging about your so call 'alleged' massacre. May reap what you are sowing.
Nicholas Anthony okpe one of the victims of gunshot confirmed army were at the toll gate and that they shot him in the chest but was lucky to be alive!
IamSalt: The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), on Thursday claimed that his regime’s decision to accept the demands made by the youth that protested against the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Nigeria Police Force emboldened them and they gradually became violent.
Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, in a statement titled ‘How #EndSARS protest was hijacked, misdirected, President Buhari tells former Heads of State,’ quoted the President as speaking during a virtual meeting he had with former Nigerian leaders.
The President was quoted to have said, “We accepted all the demands and proceeded immediately to scrap SARS and started the process of addressing the other demands.
“Unfortunately, the protesters refused to call off the protest and engage the government to address their grievances. Instead, they became emboldened and gradually turned violent.”
Adesina further quoted Buhari as expressing concern that, in the mayhem that ensued, many lives had been lost, while a number of public and private properties were completely destroyed or vandalised.
The presidential aide stated that the President reiterated his pledge to Nigerians in a nationwide broadcast on Thursday that “we will continue to improve good governance through our democratic process, including through sustained engagement.
“We shall also continue to ensure that liberty and freedom, as well as the fundamental rights of all citizens are protected. Here, I want to also reaffirm our commitment to preserving the unity of this country.”
According to Adesina, Buhari told his predecessors that it was unfortunate that the initial genuine and well-intended protest of the youths was “hijacked and misdirected.”
The President was said to have reiterated that the government would not fold its arms and allow “miscreants and criminals to continue to perpetrate acts of hooliganism in the country.”
Buhari, according to the presidential spokesman, recounted the initial concessions made by his regime on the demands of youths protesting against the excesses of some members of the now-disbanded SARS.
Look at her, calm cool and collected, all she talked about was wounded people, she said nothing about massacre.
Now tell, me, she allegedly just witness a massacre, she just witnessed 78 people slaughtered, but no sign of mental or emotional trauma or shock, she was at the hospital with just wounded people? nothing about massacre or the Army showing up to take away 78 dead bodies.
Do you know how many trucks you need to load up 78 dead people with multiple gun shots wounds with not a speck of blood on the ground?
She described a bloodbath, but her own version and interpretation of bloodbath doesn't involved blood.
Obviously, she lied to Nigerians, she created needless anger, bloodshed and destruction. Why? Just for fame and to trend on social media?
Very sad.
If police can commit mass murder and dump bodies in rivers and shallow graves then the army are more sophisticated to do a better version
ibedun: imagine scene of a massacare no single sight of blood stain littered on the floor?
Did army also bring cleaning companies to wash the whole of lekki toll gate overnight while everybody stood?
I don't know what you have for a brain but I know for sure Lagos gov sanwo olu has come out to confirm there was shooting and two death from that incident! Abeg carry your fuckery and go
Sonoyom: OP all this to what essence? She was live on the scene and you are giving analysis via NL so we should believe your theory instead of the live scenes? We saw everything live on Instagram.
baby124: She was live. We watched her live videos and saw the injured and the dead. You cannot fabricate Instagram live videos. We also heard the gun shots. Maybe you are too old to realize this but let your children educate you. It’s better you rest this matter and stop making a fool of yourself to the whole world.
PatrickOkunima: I just watched the video by DJ Switch where she claimed the military shot at protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate.
From the shooting video, the soldiers were firing in the air. It is not possible for those shots to have injured, let alone killed someone on ground. Perhaps, there is another video they are not showing us, in which the soldiers shot protesters directly. If you're reading this, please do not misquote me. I'm not trying to say that nobody was killed, but if at all people were, it's not from that short video in circulation.
Back to DJ Switch
Anyone who understands how fire arms work knows that the shell is not projected when a shot is fired. If the weapon is a shotgun (single barrel or double barrel), only the pellets is expelled, while the shell remains in the firing chamber, and has to be removed manually by the shooter. There are other kinds of shotguns that expel shells, but not very far from the gun.
In all automatic and semi-auto weapons, including AK47, which the soldiers were carrying, when a shot is fired, only the projectile is projected. The case (what we call the shell) is expelled not too far from the weapon. In the video (https://www.nairaland.com/6200424/lekki-toll-gate-dj-switch), DJ Switch claimed that a bullet fell close to her, showing an ammo case. How close to the soldiers was she when that particular shot was fired? Let's assume she's even 10 metres away from the soldier that fired the shot, what kind of ammo will travel 10 metres? I'm very sure the 7.62mm caliber ammo, which the AK47 uses cannot travel that far.
I think there is more to these protests and looting that most of us don't know.
The government imposed a curfew which you and you co-travellers disobeyed!
That is the reason why we have this calamity on our hands.
As a result of your disobedience of the government's order innocent lives have been lost and people's businesses have been wrecked rendering them bankrupt!!!
LukasPodolski: let's ask ourselves this question, who are the victims of the alleged Lekki MASSACRE?
Definition of MASSACRE : said, , without proof, to have taken place or to have a specified illegal or undesirable quality.
95% of pictures flying around (on the internet) were fake, old pictures, many of the alleged victims came out to debunk the news.
WHAT IS HAPPENING?
For evil to thrive the people have to be silenced! If not good ll triumph ultimately! You can't silence the truth, you can't hide it! Eyewitness account below:
