There was heavy police crackdown on activists, musicians, and Nollywood actors and actresses, who thronged the Lekki Toll Gate, yesterday, in commemoration of the #EndSARS protests which culminated in the shooting that took place in the area in October, last year.
This is even as protesters who stormed the streets of Abuja were stopped by security agents from marching to the National Assembly to express their frustration at failure of the Federal Government to meet their five-on-five demands articulated last year.
Similarly, protesters in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, were dispersed by the police.
In Enugu, a combined team of security personnel, made up of the Nigeria Army and the police, dehumanized journalists who were on duty to cover the processions by a coalition of civil society organisations and dispersed the youths who converged for the protest.
A similar situation played out in Osun State.
