#EndSARS: Police fire tear gas at Lekki toll-gate

To mark the second anniversary of the #EndSARS memorial of October 20, 2020, a memorial procession was announced by Nigerian singer Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz.

“Tear gas was fired to disperse protesters at the Lekki toll gate. Protesters and civilians alike are currently fleeing the scene of the #EndSARSmemorial procession.

“Gunshots were also reportedly fired by the policemen present at the scene, while a journalist who works for Arise TV was also allegedly harassed.

A police officer who earlier spoke with the Punch said, “As long as they do not stop, we shouldn’t have a problem, because the agreement is that they don’t stop. But the moment anybody stops that person will be picked up and locked up in the van.”
