President Muhammadu Buhari has faulted the foreign reports of the press into the #EndSARS protest.
The President especially mentioned that the reports of CNN and BBC of the #EndSARS protest was not balanced as they failed to give attention to the Policemen that were killed.
Buhari in a short tweet that has generated thousands of reactions from Nigerians said: “It must be said that foreign press coverage of the ENDSARS violence was not balanced, especially from CNN and BBC. I was disgusted by the coverage, which did not give attention to the policemen that were killed, the stations that were burnt, and prisons that were opened.”
