There was a mild face-off between members of the Judicial Panel of Enquiry on Police Brutality and soliders manning the gate of the military hospital in Ikoyi, Lagos on Friday.

After inspecting the Lekki Tollgate on Friday, 30 October, 2020, panel members decided to visit the Military Hospital in Ikoyi for another round of inspection bearing in mind that soldiers were accused of packing the dead bodies away on the day of the shooting.

The soldiers claimed that they were not aware of their coming and that it is against protocol coming without prior notice to the officials of the hospital.
