Both the military and the police authorities had warned several times last week that they would not allow another round of protests to take place.
In what appears to be
an attempt to forestall another round of #EndSARS protests, armed police
officers and soldiers have been deployed at the Lekki toll plaza, Lagos.
Several motorists
informed The PUNCH that the security operatives were deployed around midnight.
The Police Public
Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, did not respond to calls on Monday morning.
However, both the
military and the police authorities had warned several times last week that
they would not allow another round of protests to take place.
The #EndSARS protests,
which took place in October, were hijacked by hoodlums leading to the destruction
of properties and loss of lives.
The demonstrations
also turned bloody in Lagos on October 20, 2020, when men in military uniform
opened fire on young protesters at the Lekki toll plaza, an epicentre of the
protests in Lagos.
Thousands of prisoners
were also set free during the riots that followed.
