The CNN,on Wednesday released an investigative report alleging that the Nigerian army used live bullets on protesters during its intervention in the #EndSARS protests that occurred in Lekki, Lagos State.

CNN said a forensic probe of the bullet casings recovered from the scene of the incident revealed that live bullets were fired at the protesters

The minister described the report published by CNN as one-dimensional and lacking in balance, claiming that CNN relied on social media video without verification to produce its report.
