Soldiers were accused of allegedly shooting at protesters at the Toll Plaza on October 20.
The Army has denied killing protesters, insisting that its men fired blank bullets.
The 81 Division of the Nigerian Army said soldiers were deployed at the instance of the Lagos State Government to help in the enforcement of the 24 hour curfew imposed on the state during the protest.
The federal government, recently, attributed the reports of a massacre during the Lekki shootings by security operatives to those it described as “purveyors of fake news.”
The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, while addressing a press conference in Abuja, said there was no massacre in Lekki on October 20.
