We the patriotic and well meaning Nigerians know this.

CNN is a paid ipob media organisation and they would do anything to rubbish Nigerian integrity most especially that of our soldiers.

The videos they kept showing showed no evidence of any wrong doing by our military men. They just joined garbage upon garbage together and called it investigative journalism.

Even Channels and TVC would have done a better job with amenities at their disposal.

In Our Soldiers We Stand
In Our Country We Stand


Any form of collision to disrupt the peace of this Nation will never be successful

Is this what you have resorted to? Sorry, Nigeria is being disgraced in parliaments because of people like you. Investigations has already been concluded

Stalwert:
The report by Cable News Network (CNN) on the shooting at the Lekki toll gate in Lagos was a “poor” hatchet job targeted at the Nigerian Army, the International Institute for Investigative Journalism (IIIJ) has said.

In an electronic statement signed by special rapporteur, Francois Deburoiche, on Wednesday, the IIIJ said it came to this conclusion following a careful investigation on the events that led to the escalation of violence at the toll gate.

After forensic analysis of CNN’s report, the International Institute for Investigative Journalism noted that there were some missing details in the American television channel’s piece.

According to the institute, the report was carried out in poor taste, lacking professionalism and objectivity.

It added that the claim of use of live bullets and testimonies of victims were all tales.

The institute, however, advised the television channel to retract and admit error in the documentary.

[b]The International Institute for Investigative Journalism is issuing this press statement with the best of intents after a careful investigation on the events that led to the escalation of violence at the Lekki Tollgate in Lagos Nigeria during the EndSARS protest.

A team of investigative journalists with extensive experience in conflict situation interrogated the various claims made by the American Cable News Network in its report on the Lekki Shootings and came up with a comprehensive analysis that found gaps that were not filled in the CNN documentation of the events at the Lekki Tollgate in Lagos Nigeria.

Our statement:

The CNN documentary on the EndSARS protest in Nigeria was released to the general public with lots of inaccuracies. These accuracies were detected after an extensive forensic investigation by the International Institute for Investigative Journalism.

It is thus our opinion that the report was carried out in the poor taste, lacking in professionalism and objectivity. This is a great betrayal on journalism by the CNN, which indeed violated the known tenets of journalism.

The videos and images used in the CNN report were not subjected to adequate scrutiny. Consequently, it lacked credibility for use by an organization of repute such as the CNN. This fact was also buttressed by the fact that the CNN report was very hasty in its conclusion by indicting the Nigerian Army of culpability in the events at the Lekki Tollgate.

Our position remains that the CNN erred substantially in its report that was highly misleading to the general public in Nigeria and other parts of the world. The documentary also failed woefully to highlight the events that led to the reign of violence in parts of Lagos state but instead rehashed the issues under different subheadings with minimal evidence that indicts the Nigerian Army of wrongdoing at the Lekki Tollgate.

The International Institute for Investigative Journalism concludes that the CNN documentary was prejudiced in its analysis as well as presentation which fall nothing short of a poor hatchet job with the undeniable intent to discredit the Nigerian Army operation at the Lekki Tollgate in Lagos Nigeria.

The analysis by CNN in the documentary was hasty in its categorization with regards to the use of live bullets by soldiers at the Lekki Tollgate. The report attempted to portray the use of excessive force by soldiers, while the accompanying videos and images did not depict such.

The credibility of those interviewed in the documentary was also suspect with the choice of words and the facial and body expressions of the victims as well as their relatives. Thus much was revealed by forensic analysis as the emotions portrayed didn’t match their words.

Conclusion:

The International Institute for Investigative Journalism is of the considered opinion that the CNN carried out a hatchet job that is targeted at the Nigerian Army institution. We as a result of this classify the CNN documentary as highly misleading and with the capacity to cause disquiet in Nigeria.

The CNN must retract and admit error in submission in its documentary on the Lekki Tollgate shootings.

The International Institute for Investigative Journalism faults the CNN documentary in all ramifications.[/b]

I put it to you factually that you are absolutely wrong to think CNN is the least viewed news channel in USA. Provide evidence to the contrary.

For you to think that shows how absurd your mind works. How many news channel do you even know that is domiciled in USA?

Take your L in peace abeg.

I know this was dishonest the moment they said that the use of live annumitions were "tales". Like even Army has admitted that they used live ammunition.

capitalzero:



International Institute for Investigative Journalism (IIIJ) , Oshodi.
Awon oniranu. International ko, worldwide ni.

Yeah, this thing seems to be bullshit. Search International Institute for Investigative Journalism (IIIJ) and the closest you will find in IIJ but there is no website for IIIJ, no other papers of them debunking a story, the only thing that comes up with IIIJ are duplicates of the story of this thread.

So, this is probably fake news or IIIJ is an insignificant company that can't even afford a website and has never done an investigation on a news story before.

So it sounds like a shell company for someone with reasons to claim that CNN report is false (like NG) or a small insignificant company whose first work is this and potentially easy to bribe.

8. Don't post false information on Nairaland.
