A trauma and orthopaedic doctor on Saturday said pellets were removed from some patients who presented themselves for treatment at Reddington Hospital on the night of October 20.
The doctor Babajide Lawson gave this testimony before the Lagos Judicial Panel of Inquiry investigating the incident on Saturday, January 30.
The doctor, who said he did not personally extract any bullet, also testified that the hospital saw a large number of patients on the night that soldiers opened fire on protesters at the Lekki toll gate plaza.
According to him, due to the crowd, there is a likelihood that the hospital did not capture the records of all the patients.
