#EndSARS Memorial Protesters
NewsOnline Nigeria reports that the operatives of the Nigerian Police Force on Sunday reportedly fired shots and deployed tear gas to disperse protesters forcibly gathered at the Lekki Tollgate, in Lagos State.
This Nigeria news platform understands that the demonstrators had assembled to commemorate those who lost their lives during the October 2020 #EndSARS protests against police brutality.
Many protesters fled the scene, while at least two individuals were arrested.
A source who spoke to SaharaReporters confirmed the arrests, though the identities of those detained remain unknown.
As of now, the police have not released an official statement addressing the incident or the use of force during the memorial gathering.
