President Muhammadu Buhari has faulted reports of the #EndSARS protests by the foreign press.

The President especially mentioned that the reports of CNN and BBC of the #EndSARS protest were 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.”

CNN had earlier tweeted that “at least 38 people were killed” in connection to the October 20 protests, but later clarified that the figure was from Amnesty International.

The federal government had threatened to sanction CNN, with Lai Mohammed, minister of information, stating that media coverage of the protests ignored the attacks on security operatives.

Mohammed also said 100 persons, including 43 security operatives, lost their lives during the #EndSARS crisis.
