#EndSARS MEMORIAL: Two persons arrested as memorial procession holds at Lekki tollgate

No fewer than two persons have been arrested during a car procession ongoing at the Lekki tollgate in Lagos State.

The two men were arrested on Wednesday morning by the Police amid the parade organised to mark the one-year anniversary of the #EndSARS protests.

According to one of the young men before his arrest, “I did not do anything, they  beat me, they collected my phone, they took my money; the police have not learnt their lessons.”

Shortly after they were arrested, they were taken into a waiting truck of the Lagos State Task Force, after which the vehicle zoomed off.

The  police were stationed at the tollgate for security purposes, while the officials of the Lagos Neighbourhood Safety Corps (LNSC) are maintaining a free flow of traffic.

One of the protesters was arrested while talking to reporters who were at the tollgate to cover the procession.

Meanwhile, before this, there was an altercation between some members of the press and the security officials.
