ENDSARS: No live bullets fired at Lekki protesters, UK based forensic expert tells Lagos Panel

By Dayo Badmus,

A United Kingdom-based forensic expert, Dieye Willie-Harry, has denied claims that Nigerian soldiers shot at #EndSARS protesters with live high-velocity projectiles last October 20.

Willie-Harry told the Lagos State judicial panel of enquiry via Zoom on Tuesday, September 28, that from his investigation, he was “99.999% sure” that the bullets fired by the military were blank bullets.

He said the results of his forensic study showed that no live high-velocity projectiles were fired at the protesters at Lekki tollgate on 20th October 2020 between the hours of 18.30 and 20.43 when the Army were on ground.

Willie-Harry noted, nevertheless, that live, military-grade ammunition, may have been fired at some point after the military had left, by persons yet to be identified.
