THE Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has described the leaked report of the Lagos State panel as fake news.
Mohammed said this at a press conference in Abuja today.
The nine-member panel had in its leaked report alleged that at least nine persons were killed at the Lekki toll plaza when soldiers and policemen stormed the scene to disperse protesters on October 20, 2020.
However, Mohammed described the allegations as “tales by moonlight”.
The minister, had in a series of press conferences, denied any killings at Lekki and even made the CNN retract its report.
The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) called on President Muhammadu Buhari to sack Mohammed for lying to Nigerians and the world.
