The panel had in its report alleged that at least nine persons were killed at the Lekki toll plaza when soldiers and policemen stormed the scene to disperse protesters on October 20, 2020.
The panel report, which was apparently leaked to the press, alleged a government cover-up in the aftermath of the Lekki tollgate shooting.
But Mohammed described the allegations as “tales by moonlight”.
Mohammed said this at a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday, Punch reported.
