It is not that Nigeria Army is good,we all saw how 5 elite police officers were murdered and a wanted Kidnapper was released by Soldiers in Taraba a year ago.

But the Lekki Massacre was an absolute Frame up and blackmail of the Nigerian Army a Complete Fabrication and Hoax by those acting on a plan to murder Police and burn down Lagos!!!!!!

Even far away Rivers State was not spared the Carnage unleashed that night.

Those who attacked Lagos were Claiming to be victims of a Hoax Massacre?

Why is CNN not investigating Nnamdi Kanu's Audio ordering IPOB to murder Police , burning down of Lagos and the attack on Oyigbo ?

Isn't it relevant?

22 Police Officers were killed and 200 Police Stations were burnt after that Broadcast

Well in all honesty, the closest you would get to a honest Nigerian President is Buhari.

Thank you and this is my main reason for supporting him because others are rapacious thieves. But listening to Lai Mohammed and the army spokesperson regarding this issue is sickening, too much lies, distractions and misinformation.

We’ve been saying the same thing for so long but Nigerians are not interested in the truth. There was no massacre at Lekki. Even the CNN report was only able to identify one dead victim. Lagos state government already admitted that two people died and it is regrettable. However, the numbers of death doesn’t amount to a massacre. CNN did a very poor hatchet job and it’s obvious the way they’ve been trying to bully the FG not to disagree. One thing is sure though, the actual truth of what happened at Lekki that evening will still come out.

Why then is the truth so difficult to find in Nigeria? Can a peaceful and prosperous country ever emerge from such a society?

1. There is no such thing as International Institute for Investigative Journalism. For an "institute" that prides itself as "professional", even Google shows no record of its existence. Why??

2. "Francois Deburoiche" doesn't seem to exist either. For a "special rapporteur" of such a "big" institute, i find it strange that all search results about this human point only to this statement as reposted on multiple blogs. Again, why?

Since DJ Swith is scared of sharing her evidence with Nigerian government for fear of being arrested, she should have gave CNN the video of the victims so they show it to the world. But I’m still disappointed CNN still did not show evidence of the massacre . I really want the victims to get justice. SAD!

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.


Read the full statement below:

[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
