A woman has recounted how a man from the crowd allegedly shielded her from gunfire and lost his life during the 2020 EndSARS protest.
In a video circulating online, the woman alleged that an ex-military man had instructed protesters to bring out Nigerian and army flags, sit down and sing the national anthem.
She claimed that while they were following the instructions, gunshots suddenly rang out and people began running, with several falling as they tried to escape.
The woman, who said she was still holding a microphone on stage at the time, recalled being singled out by soldiers as the shooting continued.
According to her, a man who had been sitting among the protesters suddenly got up, grabbed her and shielded her from the bullets.
She said the stranger took the bullets meant for her and lost his life in the process.
The woman described the incident as a terrifying experience, saying she was so overwhelmed that she could not process what was happening around her.
She also recalled that some protesters urged others not to run, believing they could confront the soldiers once their ammunition ran out, even as gunfire continued.
