Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, warned protesters ahead of the planned protest at the Lekki Toll gate on the 20th of October, 2021, in memory of the #ENDSARS heroes, one year after armed soldiers shot into a crowd of peaceful protesters at the location.

He said “If you want to protest, it is your right under the law but you don’t have to block the road because, in the process of obstructing the road, you are no longer protesting for a better life for people.

“However, what happens to pregnant women in an emergency, what happens to collapsed buildings, fire incidents when the roads are blocked?

“Don’t forget that this is Lagos, it is the economy of the country and it is equally a working day and you can imagine those lives that earn their living on a daily basis.

“There are some people that cannot feed their families when protesters block the road indefinitely.” He added.
