The Federal Government has insisted that there is nothing like mass killings at the Lekki toll gate in the wake of the #EndSARS protests as CNN released a report on the incident on Wednesday.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, said at a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday that the Lekki massacre incident was a massacre without bodies.
Mohammed said those who alleged massacre at the toll gate only succeeded in misleading the world.
He said while government awaits the outcome of the panel investigating the matter, “we can say that the world has just witnessed a massacre without bodies” in Lekki.
The minister said that the military did not shoot at protesters at the toll gate.
He asked anyone with contrary proofs to make them available to the panel investigating the matter.

Mohammed said the government was satisfied with the way security agencies handled the protests.
The minister described the CNN report on the Lekki incident as “blatantly irresponsible.”
He called for a sanction for the foreign media organisation but did not disclose where the sanction should come from.
