While submitting the footage to the Judicial Panel of Inquiry set up by the Lagos State to probe the Lekki shootings, Omomuwa also added that they did not activate audio recording, as the cameras were used for traffic not security.
According to him, the other surveillance cameras, a pan–tilt–zoom camera (PTZ camera) also exists and is still intact. “We never, ever tampered with the surveillance camera until about 8pm, when it was tampered with and stopped recording,” he said without disclosing who could have had access to their office to tamper with it.
