With the way CNN investigated the #LekkiMassaccre I'm sure we can all conclude that there's nothing like investigative journalism in Nigeria.

There is an emergency WhatsApp meeting going on to discredit the CNN documentary on the #LekkiMassaccre. Give it a few hours and you'll start seeing their ridiculous takes.

Omo!
If you can rewind your DSTV Explora to 7:10AM, youโll catch the detailed investigation done by CNN on the #LekkiMassaccre
Iโm still surprised and ashamed that the Nigerian Army and Government are still denying that they killed peaceful #EndSARS protesters. pic.twitter.com/OnZkjWq2VG

The President of Nigeria ordered the shooting and killing of peaceful protesters at the Lekki toll bridge one month ago #EndSARS #LekkiMassaccre

#EndSAR To those without conscience who kept claiming nobody died at #LekkiMassaccre, #Lekkilies are falling apart like a pack of cards! Next they will go after @CNN but what does it matter? "How a bloody night of bullets quashed a young protest movement" https://t.co/PKXH7Av4gF

Lmao CNN that has gone to Syria and many other Dangerous Countries To Get Better War Footage So You Think They Won't Be Able To Cover The Lekki Massacre? Like You Think They Will Bring Out Fake Evidence And Fake Videos?#LekkiMassaccre #LekkiTollGateShooting

#LekkiMassaccre was 20/10/2020. The CNN investigation came out to the public 18/11/2020.
They contacted the Nigerian Army and Lagos Govt to give it to them- they were turned down.
In <4weeks, foreign media gave us the truth with evidences- ahead of the govt.
What a disgrace.
