LEKKI SHOOTINGS: Stand Off Between Judicial Panel And Soldiers – #EndSARS—A bit of drama ensured today outside the premises of the Military hospital in Ikoyi between members of the Judicial Panel of Enquiry on Police Brutality and soldiers manning the gate.
It all began when the panel led by Justice Okuwobi after inspecting the Lekki Tollgate today, Friday, 30th October, 2020 decided to visit the Military Hospital In Ikoyi for another round of inspection bearing in mind that soldiers were accused of packing the dead bodies away on the day of the shooting.
Getting to the gate of the hospital, the panel members, journalists and observers were refused entry by the soldiers on the grounds that they were not aware of their coming and that it is against protocol coming without prior notice to the officials of the hospital.
Barrister Ebun Olu-Adegboruwa put a call through before they panel were allowed entry. They were taken round the hospital by General A. I. Taiwo and one incredible discovery was the revelation that the Military Hospital does not have a mortuary.
Accroding to the Military, the hospital has been under renovation for the past one year.
