Upti123:
On October 23, CNN Africa had tweeted that at least 38 persons were killed on Tuesday, October 20, when the military opened fire on peaceful protesters. This tweet was referring to the Lekki shooting incident.

The tweet read:

In an updated tweet, CNN Africa has now come out with a clarification. It reads:

How on earth can you state that 36 people were shot dead by soldiers without being at the scene and in the face of very credible question still hanging in the air "if soldiers killed even 1 person with their bullets,let alone 36 or 78 according to alleged lie by Switch, did soldiers kill all their friends,families,colleagues,neighbours, pastors/imams,boyfriends,girlfriends etc too? shocked

All the revenue CNN generated on those days from the online traffic and on TV viewership while beaming that fake news must be demanded as damages and used to take care of victims of police brutality, victims of the carnage and those their fake news further destroyed. The request for the damages must co-copy HE Donald Trump, the Republic Party and CBS.

Amnesty international must receive their own letter too while Lagos State Government must investigate the audio of IPOB leader instructing and commanding his IPOB members to burn down Lagos and establish the nexus between the audio and the coordinated arson in Lagos.
If found culpable, he should be reported to ICC and Interpol and other international bodies and prosecuted in absentia if he does not turn himself in.

If HE Sanwo Olu does not investigate this IPOB leader audio telling people to burn down Lagos, Lagosians, indigenes and Association of Lagos indigenes like the Lagos State Council of Obas and others should sue the government for not doing its job and compel the government to investigate the whole audio and movement of youths from the South East to join the protest in Lagos when same protest was going on in the South East!

This injustice against Lagos and Lagosians will not be permitted.

It is completely despicable that someone will tell people to go burn down Lagos and still not be charged by now. It is enabling him to commit more crime or someone else to wake up someday and instruct people to go burn down Abuja or Onitsha or Kaduna or PH or Benin and those places get burnt and we carry on as if we can't enforce our own laws.

Na wa, yesterday you all were here praising CNN for SO RO SOKE, against LIA MUHAMMED .

Today you guys tag them FAKE, what is fake about it?

Will CNN be at all places at every time they will pick their report from various sources. I belt to tell you that the Number of death during the ENDSAR Protest exceed the number even mentioned.

The Videos of the ENDSAR Protest was gotten from same Nigeria Youth from all part of the country, how did it become IPOB handy work alone??

Why are we so divided and unstable ..... when the going was smooth , everyone keyed into the ENDSAR ideology - it wasnt IPOB then. We saw the way the Government came trying to stop and discredit the move but failed, which we all praised until they implored and unlashed the Army , Police and the Hoodlums' alas there was dead, injuries and destruction , the ENDSAR protest stopped. Then the count of lost, denial , blame and counter claims rolled in.

The Nigeria Media that wud have been of help to line up the facts and data , were immediately slapped fine and coerce into dropping the idea to dig deeper. They never wanted any evidence of the mascara to be gotten - so they put off the light, removed/shutdown the Camera and open fire (whether live or not live Bullet) they sha started shooting unarmed peaceful protesters who were with their Country's Flag and singing the Nation's National Anthem ( what a shame and felony act) . In the bit to live for another day, some died, some rushed to hospital, some went home. ( denial of any dead came in - but sha, if there are bullet wounds on those in Hospital, such shooting is also capable of killing).

The evidences were suppressed and so the Government started springing up various conspiracy theory in the bit to eventually burry the scene as though nothing like that happened, or better still, so the ENDSAR protest will go the path of her previous predecessors . But as Mother earth will have it, DJ had a live video which had already gone viral and most likely contain the footage of what happened at LEKKI . which everyother persons, panel , body etc held on as the most likely available evidence.

Lo and behold, The same Government lunched attached on DJ and his live video to discredit the only available evidence - which if they succeed , even the panel report will be of no effect .

Then CNN refused to chicken out, the world must not go to sleep, what happened at LEKKI is a crime against humanity and must not be burred like her sisters had been . Also knowing well, what Nigeria Government is capable of turning the assumed PANEL report into, they choose to work with available fact and preach their side of the gospel.

Yet same people who had the direct burnt turned back to crucify the only BOLD TV station for trying to call their Government out, and letting them give account for their evil deed.

They not only crucify their helper, they also stone their brother for what they all were in-it together ooo

Who did this to us? why are we like this? are you sure we arent the cause of our predicament ? like we are actually what our government is.

Vaughanlanrewaj:


Their previous tweet stated 36 people were killed when military opened fire on protesters on 23rd October, the recant is that the 36 deaths they reported were not from the protest and they were not quoting Amnesty . Unfortunately for them, internet never forgets

We knew Amnesty International was shifting the number until it settled at 12 but here CNN is utterly implicating itself.

Their previous tweet stated how their alleged 36 dead got killed; by soldiers who fired at the protesters! Their phoney investigation embellished it by citing some manipulated social media or probably IPOB sponsored videos of Lekki incident meaning that the 36 alleged deaths were their own account of deaths at Lekki. Yet they were never there and even ignored to cite the report of those credible media houses like BBC, Channels TV at the scene to give a measure of balance.

It would be very good to see a full copy of that letter Alhaji Lai Mohammed wrote them and pre-empt where their next denial will come from.

Amnesty must have thrown them under the moving bus before they denied quoting Amnesty.

Channels TV was actually right until the "online mob" blanked them out with evil accusations.

The honest Truth is that Lekki Massacre was a Fake News Hoax that IPOB used as a cover for coordinating terrorist attacks against Lagos and killing Police who tried to stop them at the same time.

Both BBC and Channels TV reports on the Lekki Endsars Protests saying Soldier's were only shooting into the Air to disperse protesters was spot on , still the IPOB Social media Mob attacked them with a deluge of lies and fake photos of dead people who either resurrected to deny their deaths or family members putting out statements to claim they died somewhere else under different circumstances


Just look at Djswitch' s latest twitter rant from yesterday ,

what is Awolowo and Gowon's business with the Lekki Endsars protests ?!!

I know you are one of those IPOD Sympertisers or from that area thats why you are defending her. So you are not aware that she said soldiers shot at protesters and the soldiers claimed it was order from above to shoot them? If soldiers shot at protesters we would have seen dead bodies littered on the ground, and no level of cover up that can hide such massacre.

Can you show me one evidence of God. Yet you go about saying God exist.

Your logic holds no water, I hearsay is inadmissible in a court of law, if there is no proof of event, you have no prima facie, even in a case like this hard video evidence may be inadmissible because of alteration of evidence via use of technology, it will be almost impossible to bring a case against the system.

Na old time God dey tey before catching up on bad people, God of these days, na speed of light in response .

Following the crowds sometimes could be disastrous, that's exactly what happened with the Lekki event.. Though the too early released of Photoshop photos did some damages.

There was shooting at Lekki on that day, after the arrival of the army but they did not aim at the protesters.. At least each officers must have nothing less than 5-6 bullets.. How many army will occupy one truck? Let's say 10, X 5 trucks making 50 officers on ground.

One bullet could kill at least 2 people ... If the army indeed shot at the protesters, the casualities should have been more than that both dead and injured.

But if you are emotional driven, can't think rationally, , assimilate information , having fixated beliefs about something and can't make use of your sense of judgement without listening to Dem say Dem say, then you go fall for the acclaimed Lekki massacre

Is the lawd not wonderful, are there no single NL's residing in Lekki , around Lekki Toll gate that participated in the partying protest ( After curfew was earlier declared by 4pm) or have first hand information with evidence about what transpired that day... grin

In summary, no direct shooting at the protesters
There was nothing like Massacre at Lekki


So, we have been praying, may God punish and expose all the enemies of Nigeria .... Amen!!!

Within a few minutes of the fake massacre, several videos were already online of people crying and cursing over the massacre that never happened.

Read their tweet again. I think they are trying to throw more light on the information. They are attributing the source of the information on their October 23rd tweet to AI. They have also included better context to say that it is important for them to add that the numbers were a total from all over the country.

Your argument may become more cogent if you separate the issues. Giving credit and clarification isn’t the same as recanting, neither is it the same as proof that their information is incorrect.

What we should be more concerned with is clarity as to whether or not Nigeria has freedom of movement and association, and whether we can trust the system to be just, and able to hold every individual accountable regardless of class, office, or status- including the average citizen ('Common Man').

Typically and usually, the Nigerian government, especially through its watchdog and instrument of persecution - the police and others, are known to always understate and undermine death tolls that are directly caused by their ineptitude.

Otherwise, let them give us the number of people that died during the Endsars protests and those that were permanently seized by the police and the army.

Whether its 2 or 38 people that died, in saner climes one death would shake the leadership to its core.

Amnesty international must receive their own letter too while Lagos State Government must investigate the audio of IPOB leader instructing and commanding his IPOB members to burn down Lagos and establish the nexus between the audio and the coordinated arson in Lagos.
If found culpable, he should be reported to ICC and Interpol and other international bodies and prosecuted in absentia if he does not turn himself in.

If HE Sanwo Olu does not investigate this IPOB leader audio telling people to burn down Lagos, Lagosians, indigenes and Association of Lagos indigenes like the Lagos State Council of Obas and others should sue the government for not doing its job and compel the government to investigate the whole audio and movement of youths from the South East to join the protest in Lagos when same protest was going on in the South East!

This injustice against Lagos and Lagosians will not be permitted.

It is completely despicable that someone will tell people to go burn down Lagos and still not be charged by now. It is enabling him to commit more crime or someone else to wake up someday and instruct people to go burn down Abuja or Onitsha or Kaduna or PH or Benin and those places get burnt and we carry on as if we can't enforce our own laws.
#Justice for Lagos and victims of the carnage in Lagos



I think they were reckless and their shoddy coverage will eventually make heads roll in CNN.
Heads will roll just like the last time they paid some people to act like MEND until they got busted.


They were absolutely reckless especially after HE Trump called them fake news media for 4 years.


This damning verdict by this independent body of journalists is just the beginning. They were not even at the scene yet ignored the report of those credible media houses present at the scene.

Yet they are grandstanding.

CNN used some of the fake creatives that IPOB leader and his followers used to distract while they allegedly carry out the instruction of their leader to cowardly burn down Lagos.
