The Medical Director of Grandville Trauma Centre, Aranmolate Ayobami, said his facility treated 15 victims of the Lekki Tollgate shootings of last October 20 in Lagos.
Ayobami told the Lagos State Judicial panel probing police brutality and the Lekki tollgate incident that the patients were transferred from three hospitals in Lekki with gunshot wounds.
He said the 15 patients comprised four referrals from Vedic life Healthcare, seven referrals from Reddington hospital and two from Doreen hospital.
No fewer than 14 petitioners have accused the army of shooting several protesters dead and injuring several.
The army, which entered a defence denying the allegation, failed to honour subsequent summons requiring it respond to further questions by petitioners.
