He then went on to state that the army was here to restore order in the area and even though they took blank bullets they shoot blank ones.

He went on to state why the Nigerian Army denied the involvement of its officers via its Twitter handle.

He said, ”The first statement was born out of the fact that we did not have the facts available to us and the second was because nobody was sent to the Lekki tollgate to breakup any protest.”
