Speaking at a press conference in Abuja, Director of Publicity, Deborah Ndace said CNN was ‘irresponsible’ with its report, following an already existing narrative that was in the public domain.

The March4Nigeria movement, however, demanded an unreserved apology from the American news channel to the federal government, the Nigerian Army as well as the Nigerian people.

While calling on Nigerians to ignore CNN, the group urged the international community to question its credibility as an organisation for engaging in acts that are divisive and promote violence.
