I Will Sue CNN For Daring To Investigate #LekkiMassaccre – Human Rights Activist
Ekohotblog, November 18, 2020…

A Nigerian human rights activist named, Kenechukwu Okeke has been a significant subject on social media after he said he would sue international media body, CNN, for investigating the lekki massacre.

Ekohotblog recalled that CNN had revealed in a 5:50 minute video what happened on October 20, 2020, at the Lekki Toll Gate.

According to the CNN report, lives were lost and several others injured, which counters the government’s claim that there were no lives lost at the scene.

Shortly after the video went viral on Twitter, Kenechukwu Okeke took to his page condemning the act.

According to him, it is preemptive and contemptuous to discuss, counter, or conclude on any testimony placed before any tribunal established by law.

Okeke added that it is all an attempt to ridicule the nation and the sovereignty of the judiciary panel.

He noted that because of this, he would initiate criminal contempt proceedings against all the @CNN staff (without any exception) for deliberately ridiculing the majesty of the courts or any tribunal established by law in Nigeria.
