Presidency rejects reports from Amnesty International, on Lekki shootings.

Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity and the President’s most senior spokesman, on Thursday, rejected the report by Amnesty International on the Lekki shootings, saying that Amnesty could not have more facts about happenings in the country than the Presidency which has a ‘helicopter view’ of things happening in the country.

Adesina while Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme, said the looting and rioting were not caused by the military shootings because there was already violence before the Lekki incident. "Anarchy had broken loose before even Lekki. The prisons in Benin and Oko had been broken open before Lekki. Orile police station had been burnt before Lekki," He said.
