[BREAKING] Lekki shootings: New report shows CNN is desperate —Lai Mohammed

The Minister of Information and Culture , Lai Mohammed, has accused CNN of desperation over its second report on the Lekki toll plaza shootings that happened on October 20.

The Minister said this on NTA on Wednesday .

But the minister faulted CNN’ s reports, saying it lacked credible sources.

When asked about the second CNN’ s report , Mohammed said , “ It shows that they ( CNN) are desperate. The so -called recent development has been seen before.
There is nothing new. If there is anything new , it is a contradiction of CNN’ s position .

“ What we are asking CNN is that where is your evidence ? The military has been consistent. CNN contravenes the basic principles of journalism – fairness, and balance.

‘ They did the story without contacting the Federal Government for its own side .
They relied on second and third parties narratives.

“ They ( CNN) were caught spreading fake news and they are trying to escape .

“ We are accusing them ( CNN) of basing their stories on videos sourced on social media. CNN has been inconsistent . It also doctored the video it got .
“ We are confident in our position. ”

On the letter addressed to Jonathan Hawkins, VP ( Communications ) , CNN Centre, Atlanta, Georgia, USA , the minister said , “ We have received an acknowledgment and we were told that the letter has been passed to the editorial team. ”
