Lai Mohammed Says CNN's #ENDSARS Report is One-Dimensional, Insists the Nigerian Army Fired Blank Bullets into the Air
The Nigerian Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has reacted to US Media giant, CNN’s investigative report on the October 20 Lekki shootings.
Lai Mohammed said the CNN report as one-dimensional and lacking in balance.
Meanwhile, Lai Mohammed validated a report done by the BBC, which he claimed was based more on facts.
Mohammed further said that CNN should be sanctioned for misinformation and irresponsible reporting.
The information minister recalled previous reports done by CNN which lacked balance while insisting that the military fired blank bullets into the air and not at the crowd.
He urged those persons who have alleged massacres, as well as relatives with missing family members, to report at the judicial panel to lay official complaints.
Mohammed also said the CNN report excluded the looting, violence by citizens, 269 private facilities burnt and looted, and the 243 government facilities vandalized.
Lai Mohammed concluded by saying security agents deserve commendation and not condemnation.
