Soldiers manning the gate at the Military Hospital in Ikoyi, Lagos have stopped the State’s Judicial Panel on #EndSARS from assessing the hospital’s mortuary.
According to reports, the panel on Friday went unannounced to the hospital on an investigation into the shooting at Lekki tollgate where 15 protesters were reportedly killed and met resistance as it got to the gate.
A member of the panel, Ebun Adegboruwa, told soldiers who stopped them at the gate that the panel came to the hospital because it had intelligence that might help with its investigation. Adegboruwa said though the panel does not have evidence that there are bodies of those killed at the toll gate in the hospital, it was at the facility to verify the claim that they were.
Witnesses of the Lekki shooting accused the military of taking away the bodies of those killed in the incident.
The military authorities are yet to comment on the incident.
