#EndSARSMemorial: Protesters begin car procession at Lekki Tollgate

A car procession is currently going on at the Lekki tollgate in Lagos in memory of the #EndSARS protests of last year.

This is despite a ban on protests in Lagos and the heavy presence of armed police personnel at the tollgate.

The activists who turned up at the tollgate with their cars were seen waving Nigerian flags from inside the vehicles and honking the horns while singing solidarity songs.

Speaking to newsmen, they stated that they will continue going to and fro the tollgate as their own way of protesting.

Recall we had earlier reported that operatives of the Lagos State Police Command arrested two protesters at the Lekki tollgate where the #EndSARS Memorial Protest is scheduled to hold in the state today.

One of those arrested claimed to be a journalist while the other was seen carrying a placard.

The police had reportedly warned that anyone seen at the tollgate without an ID card will be arrested.
