Lekki Shootings: You Lack Jurisdiction To Summon Us, CNN Replies Panel by Worldtopnewsng: 4:27pm On Dec 12, 2020
Cable News Network, Inc.(CNN) and its team of reporters have objected to the summons to appear before the Lagos Judicial Panel of Inquiry and Restitution of Victims of SARS Related Abuses.

The Panel had on Saturday, 12 December, 2020 summoned CNN to appear before it to give evidence on their reportage of the EndSARS Lekki shooting.

But, upon service of the summons on CNN’s Lawyers, Messrs. Olumide Babalola LP, the international news outfit instructed their lawyers to file an objection on the ground that the Panel lacks jurisdiction to summon them since they are not in Nigeria.

The objection dated 4th December 2020 but filed on December 9, 2020 at the Tribunal on behalf of CNN, Olumide Babalola submitted that: “The Objectors herewith place it on record that, they were not at all material times and still not at the time of filing this objection, within the geographical territory of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Those who Support the panel online Will also support the response of CNN because they feel it will affect the government.

Now I see why these news channels stay away from most developing countries. They don't trust the judiciary system of such countries to effectively handle any legal matter that might arise in the course of doing their work. In Dubai Media City, CNN has a tower; the same in Frankfurt, Paris, London, etc. But not even one in the whole of Africa. They depend on a few employed locals to do their stuff there. While this could be limiting on terms of coverage, it's obviously also a measure against being embarrassed by a judiciary system that has got no reputation to protect. With this response, they've tied the hands of this panel. Let's see what happens next. May the best intention win.
