Soldiers had opened fire on unarmed #EndSARS protesters demonstrating at the toll gate, leaving about a dozen of people dead and many others injured.

The Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry on police brutality has recommenced the viewing of the Closed-Circuit Television footages of the October 20 Lekki Toll Gate shooting of peaceful protesters.

The panel established to investigate the matter requested to view the CCTV footage of the day recorded by Lekki Concession Company, the organisation in charge of the toll gate.

The panel viewed the 20-hour-long video before it was accepted that a lawyer, Mr Ademola Ogunlana that represented some victims of the shooting, be allowed to watch the video and suggest some parts to be viewed by the panel.

At the resumption of sitting on Saturday (today), Ogunlana enlightened the panel to view  the video from 5:00pm to 7:59pm when the CCTV stopped recording.

Lekki Concession Company had informed the panel previously that its CCTV did not capture the shooting of protesters.
