According to reports, security operatives stationed at the Lekki Tollgate fired teargas at youths taking a walk-through in commemoration of the #Endsars protest on October 20, 2020.
On Wednesday, entertainer Folarin Falana aka Falz the Bahd guy announced the drive/walk-through procession on his Instagram page.
According to a flier shared by Falz, the procession will mirror the first anniversary, where citizens drove, and walked through the tollgate to remember the victims. Part of the banner read, “#EndSARS Memorial 2.0 procession.
In memory of those who were killed on October 20, 2022, and those we have lost to police brutality, we will walk and drive through the toll gate, blast horns, sing and chat in unison through the toll gate, and wave our flags.”
However, on Thursday, security operatives took over the Lekki tollgate and were seen firing teargas at protesters this morning.
