Police Disperse #EndSARS Memorial at Lekki Tollgate
On Tuesday morning, police officers fired tear gas to disperse a crowd at the Lekki tollgate in Lagos, where residents, journalists, and political figures had gathered for a memorial to commemorate victims of the October 2020 #EndSARS protests. The event was organized by the Enough is Enough movement to honor those who lost their lives during the protests.
Among the attendees were Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate in Lagos State, and Funso Doherty, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NSDC) governorship candidate. The police action disrupted the planned wreath-laying ceremony, as participants scrambled for safety due to the tear gas.
A video shared by TheCable captured the chaotic scene, highlighting the impact of the police's response on the memorial event.
