The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has denounced an investigative report on the October 20 Lekki #EndSARS shootings published by US-based media giant, CNN.
Mohammed described the report as one-dimensional and lacking in balance but seemingly validated a report done by the BBC, which he claimed was based more on facts.
The Minister added that CNN should be sanctioned for misinformation and irresponsible reporting.

He referred to previous reports done by CNN which lacked balance while insisting that the military fired blank bullets into the air and not at the crowd.
He urged that persons who have alleged massacres, as well as relatives with missing family members, report at the judicial panel to lay official complaints.
He also said the CNN report conveniently excluded the looting, violence by citizens, 269 private facilities burnt and looted, 243 govt facilities vandalized.
