The Judicial Panel of Inquiry set up by the Lagos State Government to probe the Lekki shootings as well as complaints of human rights abuses against members of the now disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad on Friday began viewing the CCTV footage submitted by the Lekki Concession Company (LCC), operators of the Lekki toll gate.
Recall that the Managing Director of LCC, Abayomi Omomuwa, had submitted the video footage on Tuesday.
The video has no sound and Omowuwa had told the panel that the surveillance camera stopped working at 8pm on October 20 when the incident happened.
According to the LCC MD, the footage was retrieved from the surveillance camera mounted by the firm on a mast at the tollgate.
Counsel for the Lagos State Government, Mr Jelili Owonikoko (SAN), had suggested that the panel only view some portion of the footage to save time, but counsel for #EndSARS protesters, Mr Adesina Ogunlana, insisted that the entire footage be viewed on the grounds that “we should not sacrifice quality for speed.”
But the retired Justice Doris Okuwobi-led panel ruled that the entire footage would be viewed.
TheNewsGuru.com, TNG reports that the panel is still viewing the footage as at the time of filing this report.
