The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has
come under attack for saying that the Lagos State panel report on the Lekki
tollgate incident is fake news.
Lai Mohammed, during a press conference on Tuesday, said
that the panel’s report cannot be relied on.
Recall that the panel was inaugurated to look into
complaints of alleged human rights abuses by the police and the Nigerian Army
during the EndSARS protest at the Lekki Tollgate.
However, the Minister described the report as a “tales by
moonlight”, adding that it cannot change the government’s mind that there was
no massacre.
Reacting, Nigerians said the Minister’s statement was
heartless and insensitive to families of those who lost their lives at the toll
gate.
@akpakan_koko, ”Merely watching Lai Mohammed now live is
annoying, to say the least. He is at it again without shame like he is wont to
do. My take from his gibberish utterances simply underscores the reason he is
widely hated.”
@DrOlufunmilayo, ” Lai Mohammed says Lagos #EndSARS Panel
Report is “fake news” and calls it “tales by moonlight, Interesting how the
biggest consistent well-known liars in history of the Nigerian state since
Independence is the Nigerian Govt itself.
@adebayoclem, ”History should treat Lai Mohammed as it did
Joseph Goebbels. Spewing propaganda and distorting indisputable facts as a
full-time job.”
@GiveDemFinish, He’s only interested in the riots that
ensued after which were a DIRECT result of the shootings at the Tollgate. Lai
Mohammed is an embarrassment.”
@Gabntoka, ”As expected, Lai Mohammed has now found courage
after almost 2 weeks of silence to discredit the Lagos #EndSARS panel report.
His insensitive comment that the “parents of victims who can’t come to testify
are not fit to be parents” is just BALDERDASH! The attack on Kamsi, nko?”
@WhiteAmadasun, ”Not unexpected from the shameless king of
mendacity, Chartered Liar Lai Mohammed. He has exhausted all the lies and
deceits in his book to deceive Nigerians, only to tag #EndSarsReport fake news.
What a crooked man!”
@theSCANDENTco, ”This government is shameless. How do you
say this after such a detailed report has gone worldwide?
@Lady___Beee, ”Jokes aside, he called it fake news without
evidence to counter it. See the kind of idiots ruling a resourceful country like
Niger.”
@Ogkuku “I ask again, is there redemption for a man like Lai
Mohammed? #EndSARS
@Ogbonaya “Obviously that wasn’t the kind of report they
expected from the panel, they could no longer wait for their empty white
paper.”
@Abolanle, “So disheartening these are the people leading
us. So heartless.’
