tollgate

Protesters at a tollgate in the upmarket Lagos district of Lekki were shot at by men that witnesses said were soldiers.

In Lagos on Wednesday afternoon, traffic flowed through the Lekki tollgate, where young people demonstrating against police brutality were gunned down by security forces in 2020.

The nationwide #EndSARS protests, which garnered global attention, led to police opening fire on peaceful protesters and killing at least 15 people at Lagos’s Lekki tollgate.

Demonstrators in peaceful protests against police brutality were themselves shot dead by security forces in 2020 as they sang and waved the flag by a tollgate in Lekki, an upmarket Lagos suburb.

Taiwo, insisted that the troops at the tollgate “strictly followed” the army’s rules of engagement for internal security.
