An #EndSARS protester, Felicia Okpara, has testified against the police, saying she was brutalized by officers simply for recording the violence that took place during one of the protests in the Surulere area of Lagos State.
She said this on Friday while narrating her ordeal to the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry and Restitution.
Okpara told the panel that she had just concluded an interview in the area and was heading back home when she saw the protest and decided to join.
Shortly after, she heard gunshots and people started scampering for safety.
According to her, after running towards a police station, she decided to record the incident but was accosted by a police officer who asked why she was recording and ordered her to stop.
Refusing his orders, the said officer pulled out a gun on her while another joined in and both dragged herself and another lady to the police station nearby.
