Amnesty International’s Double Standard Reporting Will Soon Lead To Loss Of Credibility – FG

The Federal Government had come out to say that Amnesty International (AI) is now irritating with its disinformation and double standard reports on the recent #EndSARS protest saga.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed recently revealed this to the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, Amnesty International (AI) can expect to lose its respect and credibility soon because their reporting has been all over the place in recent times.

He added that if AI has no proof to justify its claim that 12 people were killed by the military during the protest against police brutality, they should say nothing.

His words, “If Amnesty International has any proof, it should come out with it or shut up.

“After a lot of dillydally, Amnesty International said 12 people were shot at the Lekki Toll Gate.

“They should take advantage of the Judicial Panel of Enquiry set up by Lagos state to tell the names and addresses of the 12 people they claim were shot at the toll gate.”

“American government has vowed that they will search, arrest and prosecute anybody involved in the attack on Capitol Hill.”

“When Nigeria wanted to arrest and prosecute those hoodlums responsible for the killings of 37 Policemen, six Soldiers during the EndSARS protest, Amnesty International will find fault.”

“At the Lekki toll gate incident in Lagos, they described the hoodlums as peaceful protesters, while the people who invaded capitol hill in the US were called insurrectionists.”

“When the U.S. Government denied the investigators from the International Criminal Court visa to enter the U.S., we did not hear a word from Amnesty International.”

“They will soon lose their respect and credibility if they continue to operate this double standard.”
