According to the Nigeria's Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, he told the American Cable News Network (CNN) to investigate its own recent investigative report on the shooting of peaceful protesters in Lagos.

On Monday, November 23, Lai Mohammed addressed a letter to the VP Communications of CNN news (Jonathan Hawkins) as he accused the netwok of Publishing a report that falls short of journalistic standards, and reinforces disinformation in Nigeria.

In October 20, Hundreds of Nigerians had peacefully protested in many state across the nation to end the police Brutality and also the SARS.

It was also recorded that 15 protesters were killed by the Police Officers who cracked down violently on the demonstrations in the initial days, despite the government's attempts to meet the demands of the protesters.


The demonstrations eventually culminated in the deadly attack by soldiers on peaceful protesters in the Lekki area of Lagos on October 20, an attack that led to the death of a yet-to-be-determined number of protesters.

Contrary to the position of the Nigerian Army that soldiers only fired blanks into the air at the Lekki toll gate, the CNN investigation concluded that live rounds were fired.

In his Monday letter, Mohammed said the report was not balanced or fair as it did not present the government's side.

Even though CNN noted in its report that the Lagos State government and the Nigerian Army failed to respond to enquiries over the eyewitness accounts covered in the report, Mohammed said no effort was made to speak to any official of the Federal Government.
