 Contrary to the information from the police, we have a video of the moment a group of journalists and peaceful protesters were tear-gassed at the Lake Ito Plaza. Plus TV Africa's Destiny Momo was one of the persons tear-gassed at close range. She and our cameraman, Ayotollah Solomon, had to run and his camera fell to the ground. They are currently recovering from the trauma of their experience. I heard a sound. I was like, is this a gunshot? What is this? And people started running and then it became intense. They continued. I am a cameraman. We started running. We were crossing the road at the other side of Lake Ito O'Gate, where the cars were coming with so much speed. We were crossing. We didn't care. And I was praying. I saw some other people going through a barbed wire into the waterways, where the water was around the Lake Ito O'Gate. And I looked at it. I weighed it. I viewed it. And I saw that it was, I might not be able to fit in to that barbed wire. I said, dig in sand. It was as if I was swimming inside sand. Just to be able to pass through the barbed wire that will help me make way into the waterways. And then people were like, my camera, I saw my camera on the ground. I was like, God. As I was carrying the camera, people were shouting, leave the camera and run. Your life is more important. Leave the camera and run. And other people were asking us not to pass through where the barbed wire. Because they were scared that the police would start coming and then they were driving us. And I had to lie that I was pregnant. Because of my size, they believed me. Before I edit, I was here shooting teargas and all. I don't know what they were shooting by now, was hearing sounds and everything. So I picked up to my ways. I was running with my camera, and my reporter was running as well. So as we were going, what made me feel so bad was that these teargas were so, so powerful. As I felt uncomfortable, I was choking. I was crying. What was coming out of my eyes was red. I couldn't breathe very well. It was like I was going to give up. That's how I felt. Man, I was going to go at that moment. So as I was going, my camera fell down. Yes, I let my camera, not because I don't want to pick it up, but my brother was leaving me already. I was feeling weak already at that moment. So I had to call my handy. Like, this is it. This was happening at the moment. I was still panting, I was feeling comfortable. I was like, okay, where is Destiny? And where are the other guys? I said, I don't even know where Destiny is at the moment. And I left my camera at the same. But my M.D. is a very lovely man. And it was like, okay, nobody come on. Am I okay? Am I good? I said, I'm okay, I'm good. So after I went to the scene, after like 30 minutes, I went back to the scene. I had to check back to the scene. This is not the first time I'm coming to protest. But this one was so intense in the scene because the teargas and everything was going into my system. I felt uncomfortable. I was passing out totally. So a little bit to God, you know? Yeah. I'm still talking to you. I'm still feeling uncomfortable. I'm feeling funny in my system. Some people were harassed. Me, myself, I was harassed by the Nigerian army because he almost took my phone from me. I was on my Instagram live and he said I should stop filming because at that time they were harassing some people in a bus. They were destroying the Nigerian flag. They pushed them. They tore their shirts and all that. So I was trying to capture that moment and all that when the Nigerian army came and almost took my phone from me. So all I had to do at that time was to, you know, hibernate my phone at that time so they wouldn't even know I was filming. You know, just to get those moments and a few minutes later, they started shooting the teargas on some people and... Hello. Hope you enjoyed the news.
