In what will surprise many Nigerians given the fact that there have been several denials, video footage of the Lekki shooting shows the army sent seven trucks to the tollgate on the night the incident happened.
The video currently being reviewed by the Lagos judicial panel investigation.
It was submitted to the panel by the Lekki Concession Company (LCC) which manages the tollgate.
Recall that soldiers were reported to have opened fire on #EndSARS protesters who had converged on the facility on October 20.
However, the army insists its men-only fired blank bullets into the air to disperse the crowd.
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that the federal government on Thursday, November 19, made a defence against the CNN report on the Lekki shooting, insisting that no "massacre" occurred as "irresponsibly" peddled on the social media.
