Operatives from Nigerian Police Force, Lagos command, on Wednesday fired teargas to disperse protesters at the Lekki tollgate.
Nigerian youths had converged on the Lekki tollgate to mark the first anniversary of #EndSARS protests in the country.
Firing of teargas by the police led to some of the protesters running helter-skelter.
Two protesters were earlier on arrested by operatives of the Lagos State Police Command. One of the two people arrested claimed to be a journalist while the other was seen carrying a placard.
The epicentre of the October 2020 protests was the Lekki tollgate in Lagos where many youths gathered day and night to air their grievances against police brutality and bad governance in Nigeria.
The protesters were forcefully dispersed from the location by gun-wielding soldiers on October 20, 2020, an action which some quarters believe led to the loss of lives among the protesting youths.
The claim of loss of lives among the protesting youths was followed by wanton destruction of private and public properties by hoodlums in Lagos.
To enforce the no street protests warning issued by the police command in Lagos, about 30 police trucks and armed personnel are currently at the tollgate.
The #EndSARS protests which were held in October 2020 were against the activities of the now-disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), a unit of the Nigeria Police Force which was accused of police brutality.
