Police Arrests Protesters Marking EndSARS Anniversary at Lekki Tollgate.

A huge number of protesters converged on the Lekki tollgate in Lagos State and have been apprehended by the police.

The protesters had assembled at the tollgate in commemoration of the shooting by soldiers on October 20, 2020.

It could be recalled that some young persons protesting against police brutality had called for the disbandment of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) over brutality.

In compliance with the demand, the police authorities disbanded SARS but the protesters refused to leave the streets, especially the tollgate which had become a landmark for the protest.

According Amnesty International, at least 12 protesters were killed during the military intervention.

In order to mark the 4th anniversary of the incident, some protesters gathered at the tollgate, singing and waving placards on Sunday morning.

Policemen on ground tried to disperse them with teargas and gunshots and arrested some of the anniversary protesters.
