The Nigeria Police Force on Thursday fired tear gas and canons to disperse people participating in the second Anniversary of #EndSars in the Lekki area of Lagos State.
The Spokesman for the Lagos State Police Command, Benjamin Hundeyin, told Journalists that the Police did not fire any gunshots as peaceful protesters were allowed to move around.
Peaceful persons were allowed to move around without interference from the police. Some of them that decided to be lawless and start mounting the toll complex, an action threatening the existing law and order in the area, were dispersed with teargas. https://t.co/GTPg9tjJTL
