Well, after both videos, I feel both have their report based on the availability of evidence present. That the BBC reporter said no one died at the lekki toll gate contradicts CNN report. But remember the BBC reporter said she was there for a little above 20mins. While CNN report said the Army shot for hours.

Ceenelly:
OK
That one dey

A people that disobey law and order should not cry in a lawless situation, the Governor of Lagos state declare a curfew but some certain individual said no to the directive, in all every one of them both the government, army and the people that disobey govt order have cause us all this unnecessary report by BBC and CNN

peacekante:
These are the video report of both reputable international TV stations on the lekki shooting incident. The incident has generated quite a lot of controversies around the world. While the Nigerian Government has vehemently denied shooting at the lekki protesters. The Army on the other hand earlier denied going to lekki to shoot, but later admitted that it was at the lekki tool gate but didn't shoot live bullet. They also claimed they shot at the air not at protesters.
But the protesters are insisting that they were shot at and many were killed. The major protester at the ground DJ switch told CNN that the soldiers shot at them and killed lots of people.

Both CNN and BBC have given their own report on what happened at the lekki toll gate. While BBC reporter Damilola Banjo who was at the protest ground reported that the Army was shooting on air, but only saw one man grasping for air which she was not because of gun bullet, the CNN video said the Army actually shot at the protesters with live bullet. Though the CNN was not present at the protest ground.

So Nairalanders, watch the video report from both CNN and BBC. who is actually giving the real account of what happened at Lekki toll gate on the 20 of October 2020

BBC is giving eye witness report while CNN is echoing propaganda.

Jake19:
BBC were present at the venue and gave their report but anyone who watch the CNN report and still say there is no massacre at the lekki toll gate on that day is heartless.

It is a shame that we even have to rely on foreign journalists and TV stations to get a clearer view of what happened at the lekki toll gate.
Shame on Our journalists

First of, the army lied multiple times. Like five times consistently, consecutively and very contradictingly so there word means nothing anymore bcuz they've bleeped themselves hard in d arsse. Pussy guys.
Now, did they use live ammo? Yes they did. The evidences are there through the shells. Those things picked on d tolls were live ammo not blanks. Another lie.
Sanwo also lied too. First he said no deaths, then he said just two then him and d army started fuckin around fighting eachother like pussies and trading blames.
My take, the army shot at Dem. And even if they didnt, which they did. Why did they go their with live ammo at all? Why also were they lying all along. I was raised up to believe dat the Army don't lie. All of Dem wearing dat uniform should bury there heads in shame for dat stupid act they put up at d polls. I shame for Dem.

babz11:


If you know about guns you will understand that you can't fire blank bullet without shooting life bullets first and Army will always carry live ammunition incase situation change, Drill can change anytime

Raymondfayowole:


Sure, u hav a point there. My prob was wen u made it seem like evrytin cnn reported was fake just because it was coming from cnn. I was not there so I can't tell u what I don't know. We saw different directions the army shot that day, some were shooting to the air while some to the crowd. The BBC video also explained they were denied access to the lekki toll gate the next morning. Who knows if they were clearing up their mess at that tme.

BadBradley:
The BBC reporter is a Nigerian so is compromised already with all the threats and intimidation going on. We cite probable cause of bias and fear.

A simple question:

*why is the government so desperate to claim there was no shooting? They should leave it for the army to defend the allegation.

*Why did that army lie and flip flopped if it had nothing to hide?

*Why did Buhari conveniently not mention the lekki shooting during his dry speech addressing the nation?

*Why did the Nigeria army deny the judicial panel of inquiry access to it's mortuary? What are they hiding?

It's not the lack of technology that makes Nigeria a 3rd world country, it's the lack of development in every human facet of life!

Bbc report is totally wrong. Nigeria soldiers shot at us. I was there. a girl that followed my crew to the ground was shoot dead.

jidxin:
i did ooooo and i can attest to the killings at leats i saw someone's guts spilled out

Thefxchanger:


And u didn’t see the guy in the video released by cnn with an excerpt video of his dead brother but they can’t find the dead body of his brother till today?

Isn’t that enuf to prove that the army carted away dead bodies of those they killed ?

Minjim:


Don't be quick to castigate Nigerian reporters.
CNN and BBC operates in a society that encourages and value freedom of speech and Press Freedom.
What we have have is a dictator and propaganda government that doesn't want people to be informed. All their laws are geared towards gagging the press.
I watched Channels Tv reporting the crisis live that day and showing people that witnessed the whole incident. The reporter even held two bullets picked from the scene.
But I guessed NBC had made them delete that video from their site.
But thank God for Youtube

Ceenelly:
this is just the truth of the situation without being partial

Akainzo:


The same CNN said the Army left the scene after a while. So what now happened to the injured, or those that died after the army left? What happened to the phones of the people present at the scene to capture the pictures/videos of these dead and injured?

When the army carted away the bodies of the dead, did they also clean off the blood on the ground? Did they also take away the critically injured?
How come there are no videos of the army picking dead bodies from the floor, is it that all the phones at the scene stopped working at this critical moment?

Yea that was a very extensive investigation but we shouldn't rule out the BBC own report where it's journalist was present at the protest ground
