October 20, 2022 Police Teargas Youths Holding #Endsars Memorial In Lekki

The parade included popular comedian Debo Adebayo, commonly known as Mr Macaroni, and musician Folarin Falana, also known as Falz.

Police operatives fired teargas at Nigerian teenagers gathered near the Lekki toll gate to commemorate the second anniversary of the #EndSARS protest.

The memorial demonstration was held in memory of the victims of the shooting that occurred at the Lekki toll gate on Tuesday, October 20, 2020.

On Thursday, October 20, 2022, the teenagers will carry imitation coffins to remember the movement.

However, police officers stationed at the toll gate used tear gas canisters to disperse the teens.

Popular comedian Debo Adebayo, also known as Mr Macaroni; and musician Folarin Falana, better known as Falz joined the procession.

Macaroni had on Wednesday announced on Twitter that there would be a walk in honour of #EndSARS victims.

He tweeted: “Peaceful Walk tomorrow in honor of all #EndSars and Police Brutality Victims!!! We no go fit ever forget!!!!”

Meanwhile, the police had earlier said the youths are free to assemble but are not free to block any road in the state.

In another tweet on Thursday, the Force Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Command, Benjamin Hundeyin confirmed that some youths were dispersed with teargas.

Hundeyin tweeted: "Peaceful persons were allowed to move around without interference from the police. Some of them that decided to be lawless and start mounting the toll complex, an action threatening the existing law and order in the area, were dispersed with teargas."
