End SARS protest: Police deployed to Lekki toll gate [PHOTOS]

The Police have dispatched teams of operatives along the Lekki corridor ahead of Saturday’s End SARS protest at the toll gate.

The Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of the Lagos State Police Command confirmed the deployment.

“CSP Yinka Egbeyemi is presently leading a team of police officers on a show of force to Lekki Toll Gate (Admiralty Plaza) Obalende, Ikoyi, Jakande Roundabout, and other areas in Eti Osa”, RRS tweeted Friday night.

The Police department said this was “part of efforts to deter crime as well as boost the morale of his officers in the areas”.

Two opposing camps – #OccupyLekkiTollGate and #DefendLagos – are planning separate protests on Saturday.

This commenced after majority of the 9-member Lagos Panel of Inquiry approved the reopening of the toll plaza.

The chairman, Justice Doris Okuwobi and four others ruled in favour of another application by the Lekki Concession Company (LCC).

Others were DIG Taiwo Lakanu (Police), Lucas Koyejo (National Human Rights Commission), Segun Awosanya (Segalink) and Oluwatoyin Odusanya (Citizens Right).

The opposers were Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa (SAN), Patience Udoh (Civil society), Rinuola Oduala and Temitope Majekodunmi (Youths reps).

On Friday, Oduala stepped down from the panel. The young activist alleged cover up.

DAILY POST had reported that the panel, probing the alleged killing of End SARS protesters at the tollgate approved the reopening of the toll plaza and returned control to its owners, the Lekki Concession Company (LCC). But DJ Switch who aired a live recording from the toll gate during the gunshot incident in October 2020, in a Twitter post on Saturday kicked against the panel’s decision.

This is wrong! “I have always known from the start that this panel’s screening in my absence is a sham! “It’s very sad but the Lagos State Government has failed the young people of Its state,” she wrote.
