Nigerians are reacting to the independent investigation conducted by foremost American media organisation CNN on the October 20th Lekki shooting.

AllNews earlier reported that CNN released an investigative report detailing the tragic incident.

Recall that a peaceful protest that commenced in early October was brought to a halt forcefully, when officials of the Nigerian Army opened fire on protesters at the Lekki tollgate on October 20th.

The Nigerian Army and police had denied the killings, saying they only shot into the air. However, a footage by the CNN has revealed what really happened.

Now, Nigerians have taken to Twitter to react to the report.

See some reactions below:

I love how CNN is exposing what really happened at the Lekki Tollgate, unfortunately, in Nigeria, the NBC sanctioned media houses for using the same videos that CNN used in analysing the event.

A government that silences the truth.

Shame!

CNN didn't just contacted families of the Lekki #ENDSARS shooting victims, they traced the live bullet rounds used by the Nigerian Army with their purchase receipts and used map tracking for the videos.

Investigative journalism at its best. Truly, the world is watching.

The CNN documentary in this Video confirms that people were actually killed at Lekki toll gate, but Nigerian Army and APC apologists swore no one was killed

The Nigerian Army are responsible for the shooting and deaths of peaceful protesters. CNN has exposed them but don’t be surprise the Army will deny it and say it’s Fake news #LekkiMassaccre
