Cable News Network, CNN has reacted to the threat of sanctions from the Federal Government, insisting that it stands by its report.

It said its report was based on testimony from dozens of witnesses and verified footage of soldiers appearing to shoot in direction of protesters.

A statement by its spokesperson read, “our reporting was carefully and meticulously researched, and we stand by it.

Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed had in a press conference earlier on Thursday called for sanctions to be placed on CNN for the report, maintaining that the military fired blank bullets at the Toll Gate and not even at protesters but into the air.

Even if CNN is saying the truth there is absolutely nothing we Nigerians can do about it.

By now I was expecting to be hearing sanctions flying from different corners of the world against the actions of the military after all what Sudan did to warrant sanctions from America is child's play compared to what happened at Lekki

Choose 1
a. Lie Mohammad
b. CNN

This administration embarrassing Nigerians back to back

It is very important that further investigation is carried out without any interference from the government and external forces

What an national and international embarrassment on this nation.So much ashame of the so called leadership of this nation.

The Buhari junta has set itself up for shame by dancing nakèd in the public (once again) with this idiôtic threat by Lai Mohammed. I wonder what they put in the water of those people at Aso Rock that makes dem talk with the intelligence of dog shît

nigeria govt is a disgrace
