 An #Endsars protesters Kamisyochukwu Pertual has testified before the Lagos State Judicial Panel on Sars that she saw soldiers picking seven dead, limp bodies hit by bullets into their vans.

In her petition to the panel said she saw the dead body with bullet torn-head at Reddigton Hospital Lekki, where she went in search of injured protesters the morning after shooting. Pertual said she visited the hospital in company with one  Samuel Isah and another identified as Seye with the aim of collecting data of injured protesters but doctors at the hospital prevented them until a media man World Rapper Man intervened. We also requested the dead protesters who were brought in but the doctors refused us access to see the dead bodies. The media man intervened and we could see only one dead bodywhose head was torn by a bullet fired into his head. He laid at the emergency unit. The doctor called the corpse John Doe. While at Reddington Hospital, dead and injured bodies were being brought in. By evening I returned to Reddington Hospital, one of the nurses told me that the dead and  the injured had been transferred to an unknown hospital based on orders from above. We have the record of 22 injured persons and one of the dead person we were allowed to see, Perpetual said this in her affidavit on oath filed before the retired Justice Doris Okwobi led panel. While Ngerian Army had insisted only blank bullets were shot into the air, Pertual in her affidavit maintained soldiers shot at and killed protesters.
