Policemen today fired teargas canisters and water cannon at participants of the second memorial of #EndSARS in the Lekki area of Lagos State.
Spokesman for the Lagos State Police Command, Benjamin Hundeyin, told reporters that some of the participants were “unruly” and climbed the top of the toll gate.
Some of the participants at the procession include popular comedian Debo Adebayo, also known as Mr Macaroni; and musician Folarin Falana, better known as Falz.
According to the organisers, the procession was to commemorate the second anniversary of the #EndSARS demonstration against police brutality and extrajudicial killings that rocked Lagos and parts of Nigeria in October 2020.
Scores of fully armed police officers were seen with about 25 patrol vans at the toll gate earlier today.
