Elizabeth told The Nation in an interview at the Enugu State University of Technology Teaching Hospital, that she was outside the building washing her clothes when sounds of gunshots resonated from the gates.
“I heard about five or six gunshots and I wanted to go and check what it was. It was then that my elder sister, Susan, ran towards me and dragged me inside our room without any explanation. I met two other girls in our room.
“As we all ran into the room, we saw the policeman trying to force our window open but the window was firmly closed. He shot at the window, shattered it and aimed the gun at us.
“I was already lying down on the bed while my sister, Susan, and the other two girls lay on top of me. Because my sister was the one on top of all of us, I heard her calling on the policeman to have mercy. The next thing we saw was that he opened fire on us and my sister and the other girl died instantly.
“The other girl ran under the bed, and as I tried to join her another bullet caught me on the shoulder. I fell flat under the bed.
