Security operatives, including police, soldiers and others have surrounded the Lekki tollgate plaza.
This is coming hours to the first anniversary of #EndSARS nationwide protests.
Youth in the country are preparing to commemorate the first anniversary of EndSARS, a protest movement against police brutality that rocked major cities in the country.
The protests came to a grinding halt after October 20, 2020, the date of a brutal crackdown on peaceful protesters at the Lekki tollgate, the epicenter of the demonstrations.
#EndSARS was first a campaign to end the Special Anti-Robbery Squad unit, notorious for extortion, torture and extrajudicial killings.
After it snowballed into wider protests against bad governance, the authorities suspended the unit and promised reforms.
But the youth were skeptical and continued to protest – until the Lekki shootings.
