The Federal Government, reacting to a recent report by Amnesty International (AI), on a purported crackdown and killings of EndSARS protesters at Lekki Toll Gate, Lagos, in October 2020, has accused the AI of deliberate plot to destabilise the country with baseless allegations against the administration and its military.
The Minister of Information and Cuture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, made the accusation on Friday in Lagos when he appeared on a TV Continental programme, “This Morning’’. He said the AI is dispensing fake news about what happened at the incident at Lekki-Toll gate and challenged them to present evidence that people were actually killed. The organisation had accused the Government of cover up in the handling of the case and called for the arrest and prosecution of the country’s former Service Chiefs in the International Criminal Court (ICC) for alleged human rights violation.
