The Federal Government has threatened to sanction a foreign media outlet , CNN , over its report on the alleged shooting of #EndSARS protesters by soldiers at the Lekki toll plaza on October 20, 2020 .

The government described the report by the foreign news medium as “irresponsible journalism ”.

Minister of Information and Culture , Lai Mohammed, made this known at a press conference in Abuja today conveyed to address lingering issues regarding the #EndSARS protests for police reform that rocked the nation last month.

He described the event of October 20, 2020 as a “ massacre without bodies” , insisting that not a single body has been produced or a single family has come out to claim their family member was killed at the Lekki tollgate.

The minister alleged that CNN relied on social media video without verification to produce its report. “ This should earn CNN a serious sanction for irresponsible reporting , ” Mohammed said .

He also said the government stands by last Saturday ’ s testimony of the Commander of 81 Military Intelligence Brigade , Victoria Island , Lagos, Brig. Gen. Ahmed Taiwo , who told the Judicial Panel of Inquiry instituted by the Lagos State Government that blank bullets were fired at the toll gate.

He advised persons with evidence on the Lekki shootings to give its testimony before the panel .

He also said some “unscrupulous persons ” including celebrities circulated fake news on the social media that aggravated the violence that trailed the two-week
demonstration.

Sanction my left ball. NBC is powerless here, Immigration will beg to give them Passport/Visa or whatever, CBN can't block any account here.

They'll expose themselves more if they ever try to cover up (which is the only thing they can do in this case) the report.

Let me go back to my books abeg, I want to probably graduation with First classes in my MSc English Languwage like I do in my BSc.

What action..?.. people wey no get sense dey talk of action...

Ranting of lunatics. Very devilish regime.
NOTE: Everyone knows that buhari's fulani regime has a good track record in Lies. They deny everything not in their favour. The distance between them and Truth is like the distance between the glass ceiling high above and the earth. They hate Truth with passion just like their mentor and father Satan.
Nigerians recalled when the tyrranical regime said the same thing over the shooting of unarmed shiites protesters in 2015. They swore on their ancestor's graves that they never shot and kill shiites protesters. Only for truth to emerge moments later that not only were unarmed shiites shot at by buhari's fulani regime, they were slautered and massacred in hundreds, then huriedly buried in mass graves. Over 300 shiites including women and children slaughtered. Their offence? They blocked road just like Lekki protesters.
And some people still think the satanic regime values human life? Isn't this the reason why they're denying Lekki massacre? That human life have become so valueless to the point that killing over 20 Lekki protesters cannot be termed 'a massacre.' Unless body count hits 100+, any killing below that is not a massacre. Only soul-less/evil individuals habour this demonic belief.
Buhari and all members of his terrorist regime will pay dearly for Lekki/Oigbo masacres and all other massacres committed all over the country by fulani terrorists. THAT'S A PROMISE!

Release the "REAL UN PHOTOSHOPPED" videos, una no gree.

TO THOSE THAT STILL DON'T BELIEVE THE MASSACRE HAPPENED, MAY NATURE VISIT YOU IN AN UNPLEASANT WAY

The same pattern of removing dead victims which was used on the shittes massacre in 2016 was employed here..

You actually have no right to dispute video informations shared and verified with time stamps and satellite images if you deliberately removed yours just hours before the massacre.

They will soon be singing a different song by the time a new US government takes office and pressure groups starts petitioning Congress to take action against the officials involved.
It's this transition period that is making it seem the US is quiet about it
Shameless, demented old man.

Okoo

Whenever I see your comments, Late Fela Anikulapo-Kuti's ANIMAL IN HUMAN SKIN lyrics starts to make sense to me.

Oga lie thinks America is Nigeria where government officials threaten the media maybe they should go and ask oga Trump how far.

The present government have a battered image, CNN will only help them show case their bad leadership to the world.

Sanction CNN? Why not make good the treat let's see how it goes down.
