Lagos- The federal government on Monday said its case with US-based Cable News Network (CNN), in which it wrote a petition demanding an immediate and exhaustive investigation into its report on the Lekki Tollgate shooting, to determine its authenticity and conformity to basic standards of journalism is far from over.

Addressing a press conference in Lagos, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the Minister of Information said though CNN acknowledged receipt of the petition, it is yet to respond on steps to take to prevent future reoccurrence of fake news against Nigeria.

The Federal Government had insisted that the military men did not shoot at #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki Tollgate, describing the alleged mass killings as a massacre without bodies.

The Minister also warned the International Criminal Court (ICC), Amnesty International and other foreign bodies to desist from threatening Nigeria’s Armed Forces, saying that as a sovereign state, Nigeria will not submit its sovereignty to any organisation.

“The federal government frowns at this unbridled attempt to demoralize our security men and women as they confront the onslaught from bandits and terrorists. Nigeria did not join the ICC so it can become a pawn on the court’s chessboard. It beggars belief to see that a nation that is fighting an existential war against bandits and terrorists is constantly being held down by an international body which it willingly joined.”
“Nigeria is a sovereign state and will not surrender its sovereignty to any organization. ICC, Amnesty International and their cohorts should desist from threatening our troops and putting the security of our country in jeopardy. Enough is enough.”

“It is sad that these organizations mostly rely on fake news and disinformation to reach their conclusions, as witnessed during the #EndSARS protest when CNN – an otherwise respected global news network – went to town with fake news of a massacre”.

“As it turned out, it was a massacre without bodies. As you are aware, we called CNN out and also petitioned the network. Though they acknowledged receipt of our petition, we have yet to hear from them on what actions they intend to take to prevent a recurrence of the fake news they peddled about Nigeria. I can assure you, gentlemen, that the matter is far from over.”

The minister also condemned those he called jaundiced analysts who are describing Nigeria as a failed state, saying those predicting the implosion of the country have also been put to shame.

“Despite the antics of those who have constituted themselves to another ‘fighting force’ against our country, we have indeed made tremendous progress in tackling bandits and the terrorists of Boko Haram.”

“Recently, some jaundiced analysts and their lapdogs have sought to portray Nigeria as a failing state, on the strength of its security challenges.”

“But these analysts are dead wrong. Nigeria is not and cannot be a failing or failed state. Of course, you would remember that for the past two decades or so, some pseudo-analysts have been predicting the country’s implosion.”

Your case with ipob nko

Even Sanwo-Olu, Brig.Gen.Taiwo contradicting testimony on the judicial panel of enquiry & the LASUTH/Yaba cases of unclaimed mutilated corpses of those killed during the #endSARS protests are enough complicit of the government & all its agencies involved in this shame.

Imagine the conflicting narratives of the govt on this gory issue.Why is the CO of 68 Battalion Bonny Camp yet to be arrested & prosecuted if the GOC 81 Division, COAS & president didnt gave order deploying troops to Lekki on 20/10/2020?

Alas! Here is this lie spinner still zealously trying to over do himself.Useless dumbasses disgracing Nigeria.You think CNN is NTA? Sue them to world court & see how your idiocy will go international.

CNN has not responded to the petition since October They feel Nigeria is inconsequential or what?

Give it to them HOT.

Without reporters on ground, they would be dishing out cooked up numbers whilst using highly incendiary comments to tarnish the image of the country.

These idiots are shameless..
Just when we are forgetting their shamelessness, they are reminding us...

They don't need to tell us naw, shey dem no Sabi where CNN dey ni?

Tarnish the image of the country or that of the present political administration?

Golan I want to see you as a nationalist, but this one makes no sense at all... Which normal government sends the army to go shoot peaceful protesters? The fact is that people died, figures or not, lives were lost and their blood is on the government's neck...

If a family member of yours was in that gathering and was shot, would you be of the same opinion? Please fear God.

Lai Mohammed again.

Thats their business by the way.
