The Presidency has said Amnesty International does not run the country and was wrong in its report on the movement of military men from the barracks to Lekki Tollgate, where peaceful #EndSARS protesters were shot at on Tuesday, October 20.

Mr. Femi Adesina, Special Adviser on Media & Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari, said this on Channels TV, Thursday morning, while responding to claims that military high-handedness towards the protesters at Lekki Tollgate led to hoodlums looting and burning across the country.

Also exonerating the military, Adesina said that the Lekki Tollgate incident didn’t precipitate the arson and looting spree that spread across the country.

Vanguard had reported that Amnesty International, on Wednesday, released a report entitled “Nigeria: The Lekki Toll Gate massacre — new investigative timeline”.

In the report, the rights group chronicled the movement of soldiers from a barracks till they got to the tollgate, where flag-waving and the National Anthem-singing #EndSARS protesters were shot at.

Earlier, it had claimed that about 12 persons were killed in the shooting, which precipitated the looting spree across the country.

However, pointing out that looting and burning had started before the Lekki incident, Adesina told Channels’ Sunrise Daily: “The prison break incidents in Benin and Oko had happened before Lekki.

“Orile Police Station was burnt before Lekki. Many things happened before Lekki. So Lekki didn’t precipitate the looting, arson.

“Amnesty International is wrong. They don’t have all the facts; they don’t run this country, so they shouldn’t know beyond what they have been told.

“Amnesty International should do its job. But it’s the duty of Nigerians to look at what they have said whether it’s justifiable or not.”

Asked about the reports by the ministers who President Buhari had sent to their home states, Adesina said: “Only two ministers had briefs ready.

“The rest are still in their respective states. They should turn in their reports in the coming week and they will help establish the truths about some things.

“The minister will come with what is near authentic.”

Amnesty are subversive liars and vultures. Despite having zero evidence, they spread fake news of a "massacre" that never happened. Amnesty need big lies to get more funding for the charade organization they run and to provide false evidence for possible future military interventions.

Amnesty international report did not contain the name of a single victim of Lekki shooting. They have moved from 12 dies in lekki to 12 dies in lekki and aluasa. Whoever runs the branch in Nigeria is like Chidi Odinkalu, husband of a dildoo herdswoman, who have once headed the NHRC, lacking any iota of integrity.

What do you want to see in the dark video, soldiers , dead bodies? There is something about logic, those who make a claim must provide evidence for it.

helinues:
The amnesty international are known for spreading fake news

Stalwert:



Sharp and face your P&ID scam or are you already tired of the beating FG is giving your beloved P&ID in UK?

You cannot produce the name of a single victim yet you are lying here.

I hope all those maggots who were doing orgy in Lekki tollgate won't shout of shame when the videos are released.

Nasty stuffs wee done in that tollgate.

Which proofs?
Don't you guys have video evidence of the acclaimed Lekki massacre?
Nonsense

Future will tell who loves Nigeria or those paid to destroy it...

GamalNasser:


You are still in doubt a massacre happened ? The fact that over 10 people died because they were surrounded makes it a massacre

theenchanter:
let the govt produce their own report na... At least, one of our able minister uncovered a secret camera.

You see, the problem with defending these crooks is that u'll end up sounding deranged..... And u won't know it.

Stalwert:


How far for ya P &ID scam, God has humiliated Nigerians enemies. They opened threads and a website celebrating the defrauding of their country, but God halted their evil designs.
