Armed policemen and soldiers were spotted at the Lekki toll plaza, Lagos, on Monday morning, in what appears to be an attempt to forestall another round of #EndSARS protests.
New National Star gathered that the security operatives were deployed around midnight.
Unconfirmed reports reaching us indicate that a fresh #EndSARS protest has erupted in Lagos.
Reports of heavy police and military presence in Lekki Toll Gate area and Ikeja are also rife.
However, both the military and the police authorities had warned several times last week that they would not allow another protest to take place.
The #EndSARS protests, which took place in October, were hijacked by hoodlums leading to destruction of properties and loss of lives.
The demonstrations also turned bloody in Lagos on October 20, 2020, when men in military uniform opened fire on young protesters at the Lekki toll plaza, an epicentre of the protests.
