#EndSARS: FG prohibits fresh protest at Lekki Toll Gate over security report


The Federal Government has prohibited the #OccupyLekkiTollGate protest scheduled for Saturday, February 13, over intelligence report that it will be hijacked and used to destabilise the country. Warns that the security agents are ready for any eventuality. 

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, announced this on Thursday, February 11, in Abuja at a media briefing to address issues on the proposed protest. He said, “At this time, the chances that any peaceful protest will be hijacked are very high. Based on the intelligence at the disposal of the Federal Government, some Nigerian activists have linked up with others outside Nigeria, including subversive elements, with a view to destabilising the country. We cannot and must not allow this to happen. Never again will the Federal Government allow the kind of violence that was perpetrated across the country under the guise of the EndSARS last protest in October.
