Watch Moment Police Dispersed #EndSARS Memorial At Lekki Tollgate With Teargas [VIDEO]
Some Nigerians, journalists and political figures who gathered at the Lekki tollgate in Lagos State for a memorial in honour of victims of the October 2020 #EndSARS protests were dispersed with tear gas by police operatives.
The Genius Media Nigeria learnt that the African Democratic Congress governorship candidate in Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, and the Nigeria Democratic Congress governorship candidate, Funso Doherty and other residents of the state had stormed the Lekki Tollgate on Tuesday morning for the memorial.
The memorial was organised by the Enough is Enough movement as part of activities to commemorate those who lost their lives during the #EndSARS protests.
However, the memorial was disrupted before participants could lay wreaths at the tollgate, as police officers deployed to the venue fired tear gas canisters to disperse the crowd.
In a video shared online by TheCable, participants of the #EndSARS memorial were seen scrambling for safety as the tear gas spread across the area
