Lai Mohammed has responded to the UK Parliament's call for sanctions against the Nigerian government...
over reports of supposed human right abuses during the #EndSARS fight.
The minister of information and culture who responded to this in a meeting with NTA on Wednesday November 25, expressed that the government isn't freezing over the demand.
Lai Mohammed who focused on that the whole #EndSARS fight was fuelled by counterfeit information, added that no genuine government will take a choice, for example, forcing sanctions based on ''fake news.''
In his words;
“We earlier stated that government all over the world who have taken hasty decisions about Nigeria on this issue should please seek the truth.
“If the decision of any government all over the world is based on fake news, it is very risky. It brings me to the issue of the UK parliament resolution. We are not panicking at all as a government for two reasons – the resolution of the UK parliament is not the decision of the country and no serious government will take a decision such as imposing sanctions based on fake news.
“This is why we are warning foreign countries to seek the truth and beware of fake news. The entire #EndSARS protest was fuelled by fake news.”
