Lekki toll gate protest ground has been turned into a killing ground after sporadic gunshots were fired by security agents at unarmed protesters.
The gunshots started about two hours before the 24-hour curfew imposed by the state government which was supposed to begin at 9pm.
The curfew was initially scheduled to start at 4pm but was shifted after the governor was criticised for the short notice given.
Meanwhile, the toll gate of the bridge that connects Lekki to the Ikoyi axis of Lagos is currently on fire.
The bridge has been the alternative route for residents since #EndSARS protests went full-blown in the Lekki Toll Gate area.
Video clips making the rounds on social media showed all cubicles of the link bridge toll gate burning.
The fire outbreak was recorded hours after soldiers opened fire on peaceful #ENDSARS protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate.
It was gathered that before the shooting started, some government officials uninstalled the Closed Circuit Television cameras in the area.
The electricity at the protest area was also disconnected to prevent demonstrators from filming the attack.
The exact number of dead bodies can’t be ascertained at this time with some insinuating over 100 people have been shot.
As at the time of filing this report, no less than 10 persons have been confirmed dead.
