1. "My dear family, today I was billed to be cross-examined by the Judicial Panel on the Lekki Toll Gate incident. However, before the cross examination, the panel insisted on playing the Lekki Toll Gate CCTV footage. This was played for 3 hours during which absolutely nothing

2.untowards showed up on the footage. In fact, if anything, it showed the Soldiers dealing with the hoodlums by firing into the air and clearing the Toll Gate in a professional manner that put in lie to the videos that have been making the rounds on the social media and @CNN. It

3. was so clear that there was nobody killed and even injuries were a doubt. The endsars lawyers were reduced to asking me questions such as "was the violence in the morning and afternoon of the 20th of October. So bad that the governor had to declare curfew?" In fact, when 3 of

4. the other videos which showed people who are purported to have been shot were shown after the CCTV viewing film, the manipulation of these videos became so apparent. My dear family please take this to the Bank, the alleged massacre never happened. There was not even one person

5. killed.The CCTV video was so clear on that. I now believe the Nigerian government can confidently take on CNN with a view of making them retract that ugly coverage."
