In his words: “Remember to protest peacefully.Don’t fight. Remain peaceful .It is very important to remain peaceful because that is what we call a peaceful protest. All I can say is that this country belongs to us. The government cannot intimidate us.No matter what”.
The Federal Government and the police had earlier warned youths who planned to protest at the Lekki tollgate on Saturday (today) to have a reconsideration and shelve the protests.
The #EndSARS Season 2 and #OccupyLekkiTollgate protesters had said their action was informed by the decision of the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry allowing the Lekki Concession Company to reopen the Lekki tollgate.
