About a dozen protesters, the first batch to arrive at the Lekki-Toll gate have been arrested by armed Police Officers manning the Lekki Tollgate Plaza, in order to prevent the protest from taking place.
The protest, tagged #OccupyLekkiTollgate, scheduled to begin at 7a.m today, Saturday February 13, was against the reopening of the tollgate. Another group of protesters, who tagged theirs #DefendLagos, had also planned to gather at the site at the same time, threatening the former group to stay away. Amidst the threat of violence, the Police and Federal and State Governments warned both groups to stop protests.
