An in-depth investigation exposes the Nigerian Army’s involvement in a deadly attack on peaceful protesters in Lagos.
“Please explain to me how, in which part of the world, do you go to a protest with live bullets,” asks DJ Switch, a famous Nigerian celebrity, and activist, while broadcasting live on Instagram.
Initially, the Nigerian Army denied its involvement in the deaths until videos began to surface, showing the Nigerian police using live rounds. At which time, Brigadier General Ahmed Taiwo admitted to a judicial panel that the soldiers “were both given live and blank bullets.”

The protests were planned to end the disreputable Nigerian police unit known as the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).
Many are asking, will anyone face charges for fatally shooting at peaceful protestors?
