BREAKING: LEKKI INCIDENT, A MASSACRE WITHOUT BODIES, SAYS FG



On Thursday, the Federal Government insisted that, contrary to popular opinion, there were no mass killings at the Lekki toll gate in the aftermath of the #EndSARS protests.
This was said at a press conference in Abuja by the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed.

Mohammed said those alleged to have been slaughtered at the toll gate were only effective in misleading the world.

He said that we can tell that the world has just witnessed a massacre without bodies” in Lekki while the government awaits the outcome of the panel investigating the matter.

The minister insisted that at the toll gate, the military did not fire at demonstrators.

He asked anyone who has contrary proofs to make them available to the panel investigating the matter.

Mohammed said the government was pleased with the way the demonstrations were treated by security forces.

The minister took a swipe at CNN for its piece on the Lekki incident, describing it as “blatantly irresponsible.”

He called for a sanction for the foreign media organisation but did not disclose where the sanction should come from.
