The Federal Government has rejected and rubbishes the report of the panel on #EndSARS protest in Lagos.<\/p>\n

Contrary to the report of the panel, the Federal Government insisted that there was no massacre in Lekki Toll Gate, stressing that the report in circulation does not justify any massacre at the toll gate.<\/p>\n

It faulted the alleged notion that soldiers and the police massacred innocent Nigerians during the protest.<\/p>\n

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, who made known the government\u2019s position at a briefing in Abuja, asked those celebrating the report to go back to see whether there was any justification.<\/p>\n

According to him, \u201cIt\u2019s no longer news that the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry that investigated cases of police brutality as well as the incident of Oct. 20th, 2020, at Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos has submitted its report.<\/p>

\u201dThe submission happened while I was out of the country on national assignment.<\/p>\n

\u201dUnlike many commentators and analysts, we took our time to read and digest the report, and we are now well placed to respond.<\/p>\n

\u201dWithout mincing words, let me say that never in the history of any Judicial Panel in this country has its report been riddled with so many errors, inconsistencies, discrepancies, speculations, innuendoes, omissions and conclusions that are not supported by evidence.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is circulating in public space is simply a rehash of the unverified fake news that has been playing on social media since the incident of Oct.20th 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201d It is simply incredible that a Judicial Panel set up to investigate an incident has submitted a report laden with allegations, the same allegations it was set up to investigate in the first instance. Instead of sitting for all of one year, the panel could have just compiled social media \u2018tales by the moonlight\u2019 on the incident and submitted, saving taxpayers\u2019 funds and everyone\u2019s time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
