Cable News Network (CNN) has conducted an investigation into whether peaceful protesters were shot at by Nigerian security operatives on October 20, 2020. These followed weeks of denial by Nigerian authorities, as citizens continue to ask who ordered the shootings.
Nigerian youths had spent days and nights on the streets across the country, demanding an end to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Nigeria Police Force, and an end to bad governance.
There had been conflicting accounts of the incident from the government since the said date, which Nigerian youths have failed to accept. The Nigerian Defence Headquarters’ Director of Information, Maj. Gen. John Enenche in an interview in October described videos from the Lekki Toll Gate as “photoshopped”.
However, CNN clearly stated that its investigation tells a story “that is radically different from the one the authorities are telling.”
