The Lagos State Panel of Judicial Inquiry probing the alleged killing of #EndSARS protesters by soldiers at the Lekki tollgate on the night of October 20 on Saturday, November 21, 2020, resumed the viewing of a CCTV footage submitted by the Lekki Concession Company, operators of the tollgate.

The footage showed that the scene was calm until about 6:43 pm when people could be seen running towards the tollgate from the Oriental Hotel end.

Two minutes later, at 6:45 pm, military trucks with flashing headlights arrived the scene. There were no fewer than seven of them.

At 6:53 pm, about 10 minutes after the arrival of the military vehicles, the tollgate went into a blackout.

Again, two minutes later, at 6:55 pm, one of the military vehicles drove through the tollgate to the other end where the crowd of protesters was gathered.
