The Nigerian government said they would not tolerate another #endsarsprotest in the country.

Nigeria’s minister of information Lai Mohammed at a press conference on Thursday said the government “strongly warn those who are planning to re-occupy Lekki Toll Gate on Saturday to desist.”⁣

Some Nigerian youths have scheduled a new protest tagged #OcuupyLekkiTollgate for Saturday over the handover of the Lekki toll gate, where Nigerian forces opened fire on unarmed protesters last October, to its owners Lekki Concession Company.⁣

⁣

Members of the judicial panel set up by the Lagos State government to investigate the October 2020 Lekki shooting voted 5-4 in favor of the handover on Saturday.⁣

The youth, however, kicked against this decision by the Judicial panel to hand over the toll gate back to LCC for repairs and to begin operations without granting justice to the victims of the October 20 incidents.
