Heavy security at Lekki tollgate ahead of #EndSARS anniversary protests

Security operatives have taken over the Lekki tollgate to prevent any breakdown of law and order during the first anniversary of #EndSARS nationwide protests expected to hold on Wednesday.

The Nation reported that the armed security operatives including soldiers and police were spotted in some parts of Lekki and other areas of the state.

The police authorities and state governments have warned against another phase of protests that could become violent if hijacked by hoodlums.

Many organisers of the memorial protests have been mobilising on social media platforms, saying they would not back down on the programme despite the repeated warnings.

In Lagos, the organizers vowed to storm the Lekki tollgate in a car procession.

The tollgate has been shut since October 20, after the EndSARS incident.
