The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has said the report of the Lagos State panel is a fake news.
The Ministry said this at a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday. 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.
Reacting, Mohammed described the allegations as “tales by moonlight” , unbalanced report and an attempt to disparage the military.
