In what looks like an attempt to disallow another round of #EndSARS protests by the youths, armed policemen and soldiers have been deployed in the Lekki toll plaza, Lagos.

Several motorists said that the security operatives were deployed around midnight, according to Punch.

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Muyiwa Adejobi, did not respond to calls on Monday morning.

One can recall that both the military and the police authorities warned several times last week that they would not allow another round of protests to take place.

The #EndSARS protests, which took place in October, were hijacked by hoodlums leading to the destruction of properties and loss of lives.

The demonstrations also turned bloody in Lagos on October 20, 2020, when men in military uniform opened fire on young protesters at the Lekki toll plaza, an epicentre of the protests in Lagos.

Thousands of prisoners were also set free during the riots that followed.
