Ex-info minister Lai Mohammed hopped on TV to claim army brass told him troops only got blank ammo when they rolled up to Lekki toll gate during the 2020 EndSARS chaos. The guy says he stayed glued to phone calls with defense chiefs throughout the whole mess, and federal officials had intel nobody else could touch at the time.
Mohammed flat-out denied soldiers fired live rounds at demonstrators, calling massacre reports straight-up fake news that people want to believe because the narrative fits. He threw down a challenge, asking anyone to name a specific victim who got shot dead at the protest site, suggesting the lack of individual names proves his version of events.
The former minister acknowledged widespread misinformation floating around but doubled down that no mass killing happened despite what protest supporters claim went down that night.
