CNN Investigation On EndSARS Shooting Exonerates Nigeria’s DJ Switch

An investigative report by American news channel, CNN, also alleges Nigerian security indeed shot into EndSARS protesters at Lekki Toll Gate in Nigeria.

The report has cleared all doubts against an earlier narration by Nigerian disc jockey, DJ Switch, who said she saw military men open fire into protesters.

The popular disc jockey live-streamed the alleged shooting of protesters by soldiers at Lekki Toll Gate on October 20.

But she reportedly had to flee the country to seek asylum in Canada following series of death threats after Nigerian authorities had denied the shooting.

The CNN investigative report, which was circulated on Instagram on Wednesday, contains graphic imagery of injury and death. The full names of some interviewees and the identities of others have been withheld for their safety.

It captured the time the military men moved to the toll gate as well as persons who shot and used bullets.

An eyewitness to one Victor Sunday Ibanga’s death during the shooting told CNN the 27-year-old entrepreneur was shot in the head during the protest.

CNN has obtained and geolocated a photograph of Victor’s body lying in a pool of blood and wrapped in the white and green of the Nigerian standard — one of the same flags gripped by fellow protesters earlier in the evening as they sang the country’s national anthem. Ibanga confirmed the photograph is of his brother, the report indicated.
