A witness of the #EndSARS protest, Kamsi Ochuko, has been attacked by gunmen for testifying against the Nigerian Army at the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry on Restitution for Victims of SARS Related Abuses and other matters.
The victim was attacked on Sunday at Crown Estate bus stop, Sangotedo, near Shoprite, Lekki, Sahara reports.
“I was attacked by 3 men, who first pointed a torchlight at my face, before pouncing on me with a dangerous object; they said my crime was because of my testification at the panel,” she said.
The attack is coming a few days after the Justice Doris Okuwobi-led panel submitted its report to the Lagos State Government in which it said at least 48 protesters were either shot dead, injured with bullet wounds or assaulted by soldiers.
It was learnt that Kamsi was one of the EndSARS witnesses that reacted to the interrogation of the military witness, Major Gen. Ahmed Taiwo, Commander of the 81 Division, Military Intelligence Brigade, Victoria Island.
Despite video evidence that showing that protesters were killed at the Lekki tollgate on October 20, 2020, Taiwo, then a Brigadier-General, told the panel no one was killed.
The Nigerian Army headquarters, on the day of the incident, had debunked claims that soldiers were at Lekki toll gate to attack protesters.
