Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, has argued that nobody was killed during the End SARS protest at Lekki toll gate in Lagos State.<\/p>\n

Buratai maintained that there was no corpse during the protest at Lekki toll gate.<\/p>\n

The Army chief spoke at the decoration of 39 newly promoted Major Generals, yesterday in Abuja.<\/p>\n

He stressed that those claiming protesters were killed were seeing double.<\/p>\n

Buratai said: \u201cI am glad that we held the Spiritual Warfare Seminar on Wednesday and most of the decorated Generals today are graduates of the Spiritual Warfare Seminar.<\/p>\n

\u201cI must say that the Spiritual Warfare Seminar we had last time, helped us during the last #EndSARS protest to the extent that there was no single corpse, but some persons were seeing double at Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos State.\u201d<\/p>\n

Several protesters demonstrating against bad governance were reported killed by soldiers at the Lekki toll gate.<\/p>\n

Popular Nigerian Disc Jockey, Obianuju Catherine Udeh, also known as DJ Switch, had alleged that soldiers shot and killed some of the people protesting at Lekki toll gate.<\/p>\n

However, the 81 Division of the Nigerian Army had maintained that soldiers drafted to the scene didn\u2019t kill any protester.<\/p>\n

The Army, however, admitted that soldiers were at the venue of the protest but did not kill anybody.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
