exactly.
the one person shown on the ground by CNN is inadequate.
despite the claim that the soldiers took away the bodies and that the govt is intimidating the medical workers who are eyewitnesses to this tragedy, a claim substantiated by the govts vendetta agst the protesters, freezing their accounts, jailing them and blocking them from travelling out of the country, those bold creatures who took pictures under a canopy of deadly bullets that night out to have done more and shown the dead bodies before or as they were being taken away by the soldiers.
we should insist on inhumanly heroic standards from those fighting for our rights even as we agnose over those rights being disregarded by those who manage our resources.

--Regime antagonists will always twist regime's action of saving a child from drowning in a swimming pool to imply that the regime has kidnapped a child. Although we all know that there are kidnappers in the country everybody, except regime antagonists, will agree that saving a child from drowning in a swimming pool does not constitute a child's kidnapping. The problem here is that a person claimed to have been amputated after he had been shot at Lekki toll gate without any proof that he was at Lekki at that particular time of the day and no visible evidence has been produced to show soldiers/policemen aiming gun at him. Let us assume that from 20 October 2020 and thereafter, some amputations were performed in Lagos hospitals for certain reasons, can we be so stupid as to attribute all the amputations to Lekki toll gate's shootings? Where is the Doctor that performed the said amputation on the acclaimed amputee? The same cameras that captured the arrival of soldiers at Lekki toll gate, that captured them shooting into the crowds must, for ògun sake, be able to capture dead bodies on the ground and when soldiers were loading them into trucks to ferry them away.

Subject: Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Lekki Shooting: CNN Carried out a Hatchet Job on the Army, Says Int'l Journalists - ( Really?)I said it before that regime apologists will deny any evidence that is contrary to their defense of the indefensible. And here we are. General Taiwo has admitted, after many denials, that soldiers went to Lekkit toll gate. He has said that they carried both live and non live ammunition. People are coming out to say they had legs amputated (it must be a non-live bullet that resulted in the amputation (see Punch of Sunday November 29, 2020)) after the shootings, hospitals have said the government did not allow them to release corpse to families, yet, people are still expressing doubt about the darkness of October 20. I said it before, there was Arthur Nzeribe, there was Abimbola Davies, there was Youth Earnestly asked Abacha by one Kanu, there will always be their offsprings who bury truth to defend the regime that they love, regardless of the evil of that regime.

i wonder why the premium times report was centred in eye witness interviews with inhabitants of a village near the massacre scene while that of CNN was a broader sweep of incidents before and during the massacre, with analysis of images and investigations of the nature and sources of bullets found on the scene, leading to the army later confessing they actually had live bullets at the incident
i used to wonder why characters like idi amin could rule uganda with its richly educated intellectual elite...
a combination of fear generated by brute force and the fact that power always attracts various kinds ...

--On Saturday, 31 October 2020, Prof. Toyin Falola posted on this forum a Premium Times acclaimed investigative reports on Lekki incident of Tuesday, 20 October 2020. Incitingly, he stated that the Premium Times Report was, 'must read and we must all act right away.' On 18 November 2020, Prof. Falola posted CNN's supposedly investigation on the same Lekki incident. A careful side by side (parallel) reader of both Premium Times and CNN's aforementioned reports would discover without strain that CNN had plagiarized Premium Times' report with some salted embellishments. Therefore, one does not need any international journalist, whether fake or real, to detect that both reports at different dates apart featured the same Nollywood actors. https://www.tori.ng/news/158382/cnn-clarifies-its-tweet-about-38-nigerians-being-k.html
