Nigerian Government Threatens CNN, Describes Lekki Incident As ‘Massacre Without Dead Bodies’

Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, in a press conference in Abuja on Thursday described the report by the foreign news medium as “irresponsible journalism”.

The Nigerian Government on Thursday insisted that there was no mass killing at the Lekki Toll Gate in the wake of the #EndSARS protests contrary to the general belief.

The government also threatened to sanction a foreign media outlet, CNN, over its report on the incident.
