Eriokanmi: If lekki isn't far from.your location, kindly go there tomorrow and meet with the protesters. They would be able to help you. Don't come here and be doing one stupid damage control. How much were you paid? Who knows if the video posted was fake sef cos u suspect it. I can come up with such a video and post it online that I was amongst the protesters who survived.
Young man, those soldiers fired blanks into the air. You panicky youths carried stories of shootings. Simple.
Sooner or later, we will get to the truth that you people don't want to accept.
Blackout in Lekki tollgate as soldiers shoot seven protesters dead, many injured
In another development in the Lekki area of the state, armed soldiers allegedly shot sporadically at the #EndSARS protesters, killing no fewer than seven persons in the process.
Many protesters were said to have sustained bullet wounds as a result of the attack that suddenly came just after the billboard on the tollgate and the streetlights around the premises were switched off. It was learnt that the CCTV was also disconnected.
A video recorded by an eyewitness, which was reposted on Instablog9ja, indicated that seven protesters were killed during the attack.
“They have killed more than seven people that I have seen with my eyes. They were killed with real bullets and not even rubber bullets,” the recorder of the footage said.
Imagine punch using a so-called eyewitness report from instablog as its source. Now it is 7, yesterday it was 15. All unsubstantiated.
DeOTR: Did the people in Army Uniform shot any fire or not? Did anyone got hit at the scene where the fire was shot? These are facts and it does not if you watched video clips where the Army was shooting in the air at a particular time, people got shot! The onus is now on to prove to us, the bullets are not from their guns, dumbo!
Lol. I wasn't expecting better from you.
How can the army be shooting in the air and you say peoole got shot? Where in the video did anyone get shot? 1
Do you have the first idea of physics? If they shot in the air the bullet goes up and comes down somewhere I'm their own immediate vicinity, and is not more harmful than a thrown stone.
Secondly, its obvious that they were not firing live bullets but blanks. The explosion emitted from those guns is nothing like what ak47 fire looks like.
I'm not arguing with you, just educating you. I know as a stubborn e-warrior you won't want to take correction so I welcome further rants.
It's only a matter of days na... You people will surely provide the names of those who died.
GodwilldoitAmen: I am so done with you,knowing fully well that human beings like you died tonight, unjustly and all you can do is defend the murderers...whatever makes you sleep at night
GodwilldoitAmen: I have seen more than proofs tonight,check Instagram,Twitter ,it's everywhere..I believe that the time you are using here to debunk the claims that the soldiers shot at people,you would have used it to get more than enough evidence you need...Google is your friend.
Good morning
I should just go and be wandering from page to page when you can easily share the pages and profiles where you saw what you say you saw?
DeOTR: It's now a fact that fires were shot by our Military men, and Protesters died. In this kind of situation, your silence is golden if you know you don't have enough information to form an opinion.
Okay, as its a fact I'm sure you won't have any problems proving it. Be my guest.
kikilove: pls go on instagram and twitter. Dj kswitch did a live video on ig and almost 150 thousand people watched it go on ig and twitter u will have ur proofs there
Sure, I would be happy to, but again, just to be sure that I am watching what you also watched, please share the link.
Ericnrm: I have video evidence of people dying sir. Let’s be guided please
By all means share the video and I would be happy to be guide thereby, and not by your mere assertion of having a video when said video is nowhere to be seen.
GodwilldoitAmen: What is your point exactly? Are you saying the protesters shot themselves or what
In situations like this,it's better you keep quiet,if you have got nothing meaningful to say.people are angry,no point coming here to defend what you are not sure of..else we can even label you one of the killers.
For all it's worth,people died,people's children murdered without no just reason...it's sad
Are you normal? How would you then be different from SARS that labels people armed robbers in order to kill them?
kikilove: I have clear knowledge of physics.that was a short video and those were uniform men there my question is were u there to clarify that the shot in the air allthrough and who were shooting the protesters then? One more question what were the uniform men doing while protesters were being shot since it is obvious they were present?
From your last reply, it doesn't seem so.
We're going round in a circle anyway.
My question to you is simply, where is the proof that anyone was shot?
What is the name of one person who was shot? Where is the picture of their injury? Any video? Any picture of soldiers actually shooting at someone in particular?
kikilove: did it show where the bullets were hitting? Mr weapons facing up
bullets travel in straight(ish) trajectory. When fired up, eventually, their force gets spent, they stop and start falling down due to gravity, at which point they are no more harmful than a piece of popcorn.
Clarify from anyone around you with some knowledge of physics.
kikilove: really? Soldiers u say? I thought no soldier was there in the first place? So which ones are shooting in the air and how are sure where the bullets were facing precisely?
Me and you have never discussed no soldier being there madam. From the beginning the discourse has been as to whether the soldiers shot anyone.
It's clear you didn't watch the videos. The only videos which show soldiers shooting clearly show their weapons facing up.
kikilove: pls go to instagram and u would find people in uniforms shooting at them go to tunde ednut's page precisely
Thanks...just to make sure i am looking at the right video, as I'm sure he will have many, please can you copy and paste the the link to the precise video you are talking about?
kikilove: And the denials begins. If everybody is denying responsibility how come all security agencies sat back and did nothing? With clear video of protesters being shot by people in uniforms
Have you seen any video of any one actually being shot at by a soldier? Please share
flokii: It's even wrong to deploy soldiers on civilians..what happened to riot police, rubber bullets etc? Why use live ammunitions on people? This is just so wrong and traumatizing
QuinieR: Yes when they arrived they were shooting to the air but latr shooting straight bullet
Accepted. My own is simply this, if we post false information which is later debunked, the cause begins to lose credibility especially in the eyes of the world that is now paying attention.
Again, we're hearing gunshots but we're not seeing anyone shooting at anyone nor anyone getting shot...it seems the soldiers shot in the air throughout.
Not trying to detract from the cause but whatever we are fighting for should be based on truth.
