Nigeria’s Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has called for CNN to be sanctioned for what he describes as reinforcement of “the disinformation that is going around” following CNN’s investigations which claimed that Nigerian protesters were shot at by security forces in Lagos in October.

Speaking to reporters in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, Mohammed described the conclusions of the investigations as “fake news” meant to disinform.

The minister took issues with CNN’s usage of videos collected from protesters who were at the scene on October 20 to film the altercation with soldiers and the police.
