CNN has released More Daring Report On Lekki Shootings, daring FG on sanction threats.
TruetellsNigeria reports that despite threats of sanction from Buhari led Federal Government over its investigative report on the shootings at Lekki toll plaza during the #EndSARS protests, CNN has released a second report on the incident.
Mohammed also followed up the threat with a letter addressed to the management of CNN in Atlanta.
However, the network on Tuesday did a second report with more damning footage showing soldiers shooting at unarmed protesters on October 20, 2020.
According to the fresh report, the Commander, 81 Division, Brig.Gen Ahmed Taiwo was shown admitting before the judicial panel in Lagos that his men indeed took live ammunition to the tollgate.
The CNN report on Lekki shooting also highlights the fact that Brig.Gen Taiwo’s claim is at variance with the minister’s who had claimed last week that the army fired blank bullets.
The fresh report also shows protesters running as soldiers open fire at the tollgate.
This online news medium understands that the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), which is overseen by the information minister, had last month slammed hefty fines on three Nigerian television stations for daring to use some of the footage which CNN has also used.
