EndSARS Crisis Fueled by Fake News, Not Communication Failure — Lai Mohammed

Former Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, stated that the #EndSARS crisis was exacerbated by fake news rather than a failure of government communication. He emphasized that the protests, initially legitimate against police brutality, were intensified by the spread of unverified information. Mohammed also criticized international media coverage, particularly CNN, for relying on unverified materials that shaped global perceptions of the crisis.
