"Another member that was standing behind me came up to me and said someone is taking out the cameras from the toll gate. And I said: do you recognize who, because we had, I think, the real heart of Nigerians there. We did not destroy anything. Except for Graffiti. We did not take anything, we did not take anything from the toll gate we cleaned up after ourselves. So we wanted to be sure it wasn't happening, it wasn't a protester that was doing that. And then we found out that it was one of their staff, you know, we have the LCC uniform. Those are the people that manage the toll gate. We took a picture just to keep and to sort of use as proof that we didn't destroy or take anything. And then we realized that the big billboard that is over the toll gate had been turned off. And so just before 7, it was like to 7, maybe a quarter to 7 not sure of the exact time but 7. We had gunshots coming from behind. At first, it was chaotic as we didn't know where the gunshots were coming from. We didn't know what the gunshots were about. And then the lights went off. I think the rest of that is just the most tragic thing."
