DESPITE a warning by security operatives, protesters held the #EndSARS memorial protests in the form of car procession at Lekki tollgate in Lagos, causing gridlock in the area.
The protesters trooped out to mark one year anniversary of the movement which saw the disbandment of the controversial police unit – the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) and the unfortunate shooting of protesters by security forces at the toll gate on October 20, 2020.
Heavily armed police personnel have been stationed at the toll gate. The police had warned protesters not to continue with the march.
Activists who turned up at the toll gate with their cars were seen waving Nigerian flags from inside the vehicles and honking the horns while singing solidarity songs.
They told journalists that they will continue going to and fro the toll gate as their own way of protesting.
