Abuja (Precise Post) – Commander of 81 Military Intelligence Brigade, Victoria Island, Lagos, Brigadier General Ahmed Taiwo, said the soldiers who left Bonny Camp military base to #EndSARS Lekki Tollgate protest scene on October 20 had live ammunition but that it was meant for back up measures.
He made the confirmation on Saturday while being cross-examined on his earlier testimony.
Recall that the General had on his earlier testimony said the live ammunitions were not used by soldiers who engaged protesters at the scene of the protest.
Asked by a counsel to some of the #EndSARS protesters, Olumide Fusika what the soldiers left Bonny Camp with, General Taiwo, said ‘Vehicles and riffles.”
When further probed if the soldiers’ rifles had only rubber bullets as he had earlier testified, the General said they had live bullets, but that it was meant for back up measures.
