Cable News Network (CNN) has released to the public a second investigative report on the shooting of peaceful #EndSARS protests at Lekki toll plaza, despite threats of sanction from Federal Government over its first report.
CNN had earlier published on Wednesday, November 18 which gave a graphical account of what transpired on the weekend night of Tuesday, October 20 at the Lekki tollgate, including video, pictorial evidence and interviews with victims and their relatives.
