EndSARS anniversary: Police ban gathering at Lekki Toll gate

The Lagos State Police Command has banned any form of gathering at the tollgate in the Lekki area of the state on Friday, October 20, 2023 for the third anniversary of the #EndSARS incident.

The warning is coming on the heel of a planned Endsars anniversary by some activists to mark the occasion with a peaceful walk.

Police spokesperson in Lagos state, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, said in a statement on Thursday that no gathering or convergence whatsoever would be allowed anywhere around the toll gate.

“Buses at/by Oriental Hotel suggests stopping/waiting of buses and gathering of passengers. For the avoidance of doubt, no gathering/convergence whatsoever would be allowed anywhere around the toll gate,” Hundeyin said.

Hundeyin, however, added that the police would be fully on the ground to ensure security for all persons participating in a peaceful walk, as long as they are not obstructing traffic.
