Ibe had in a video recounted how she was cut with a cutlass, at the Sangotedo, Lekki area of Lagos, Sunday evening.

On her own part, Dabira who is also a survivor of the Lekki Tollgate shootings of October 20, 2020 said she had received death threats, telling her she’s the next to be attacked for testifying before the Lagos panel.

This was contained in a picture message seen by The New Diplomat.

Early Monday, a video had surfaced online, showing Ibe as she displayed the wound she sustained from the attack. She said they cut her “like I am a thief.. I thought I would die at that bus stop.”

Further recounting her ordeal, the Lekki shooting witness said she was attacked by some unknown men at a bus stop in Lagos. She said she initially thought they were passers-by until one of them shone his torch on her and started macheting her.

After Ibe’s trending video, Dabira has also shared a threat message she received, showing her picture while testifying before the Lagos panel.

“You’re next!!! Game on” an inscription read in the threat message written on a paper.
