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.

Some reactions:
It is sad that General #Buhari announced his disgust of @CNN and @BBC’s coverage of #EndSARS. Sad, because this same man never expressed disgust or sadness for the many Nigerians killed by his soldiers at #LekkiMassacre. What a heartless fellow! What if the dead were your kids?

Let it be known that our President, Buhari is more concerned about CNN and BBC's coverage of police stations burnt & policemen killed during the #EndSARS protest than the lives of youths that were lost to policemen & military shootings at Lekki on that night
LET THAT SINK IN.

I'm also disgusted that CNN and BBC did not mention these government's sponsored thugs that attacked a peaceful protest with the help of the security personnel. A situation hastily covered up by the presidency and the ministry of information led by Lai Mohammed. pic.twitter.com/ayfkeZvncz

Either Tolu or Femi Adesina or Garba Shehu is disgusted not Buhari.
Because Buhari is not even aware CNN and BBC did any coverage. https://t.co/4Lb0IapCY1
