CNN Goofed On Lekki Toll Gate Shooting Incident Report- FG ...Vows To Sanction Them ...Insists Soldiers Fired Blank Bullets In The Air Not At Protesters ...DJ Switch Should Quit Spreading Falsehood And Present Her Evidence To The Lagos Judicial Panel By Augustine Akhilomen Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed has vowed to sanction the Cable Network Channel, popularly known as CNN for their investigative coverage of the Lekki Tollgate shooting of the EndSARS protesters on October 20, 2020. Lai Mohammed stated this on Thursday, during a press briefing in Abuja, where he condemned the action of CNN to have aired such reports without following due processes. Recall that on Wednesday, CNN had released a detailed report using multiple videos with timestamps that the military was present at the toll gate and shot at protesters, a shooting which lasted from 6:43 p.m. until at least 8:24 p.m. However, the minister alleged that CNN relied on social media video without verification to produce its report. He also reiterated the federal government’s position that military men did not shoot at protesters, despite damning evidence to the contrary. “This should earn CNN a serious sanction for irresponsible reporting,” Mohammed said. He described the event of October 20, 2020 as a “massacre without bodies”, insisting that not a single body has been produced or a single family has come out to claim their family member was killed at the Lekki tollgate. He also said the government stands by last Saturday’s testimony of the Commander of 81 Military Intelligence Brigade, Victoria Island, Lagos, Brig. Gen. Ahmed Taiwo, who told the Judicial Panel of Inquiry instituted by the Lagos State Government that blank bullets were fired at the toll gate. In the same vein, Lai Mohammed said it has no plan to shut down the internet or social media.It said it would only work with stakeholders to regulate social media. Mohammed observed that social media was used wrongly to cause mayhem in the aftermath of the #EndSARS protest. In addition,Lai Mohammed said that popular disc jockey, Obianuju Catherine Udeh, fondly referred to as DJ Switch, “will be exposed” soon over her claims on the alleged shooting of #EndSARS protesters by soldiers at the Lekki toll plaza on October 20, 2020. “One of the purveyors of fake news was one DJ Switch which real name is Obianuju Catherine Udeh, even though she claimed authentic evidence of mass killings. Surprisingly, instead of presenting whatever evidence she may have, she chose to escape from the country on the claim that her life was in danger. In danger for who? “The military has come out to say we never sought after her and to the best of my knowledge, the police never declared her wanted. “Her conduct thus becomes suspect. Who is she fronting for? What is her real motive? Who are her sponsors? If she has any evidence, why is she not presenting such evidence to the panel? Since she was very desperate for asylum in any country, did she have to resort to blatant falsehood to tarnish the image of the country? “In the fullness of time, this lady will be exposed for who she is, a fraud, a front for divisive and destructive forces. “At this juncture, we want to appeal to countries that have made faulty judgements on the basis of fake news and disinformation emanating from #EndSARS crisis to endeavour to seek and find the truth.”
