In a statement by Major Haruna Mohammed Sani, Assistant Director Army Public Relations, the Army said no single protester was killed; rather that the soldiers who dispersed the protest fired teargas and warning shots into the air “as some of the non-violent means of crowd dispersal and to further prevent own troops from being lynched by the mob.”
