“Alhaji Mohammed had constantly claimed that the CNN’s report of bloodbath was false, however the panel has vindicated the CNN’s place on the ugly and wanton killings on the Lekki tollgate.
With out essentially saying extra on this, for the reason that identical minister had earlier referred to as on the CNN to apologize for pretend information, which has now been quasi-judicially proved to be true, one would assume the honourable factor for Alhaji Mohammed to do, as an elder statesman and discovered gentleman, is to apologize to the CNN particularly.
Nevertheless, as we proceed to attend on the minister and the Federal Authorities’s subsequent transfer, I sympathise with households of all of the victims of Lekki bloodbath, whereas we pray for the souls of the departed and hope the federal government implements the report in full.”Babalola stated
