Hundreds of #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki Toll gate, Lagos, are lucky to be alive after a truck rammed into their cars parked at the protest venue this morning, October 16th.
According to online reports, a PHCN truck pulled up and rammed into protesters, destroying cars and some properties on sight.
Recall that Lagosians protesting the high handedness of the police unit, the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), laid siege at the Lekki toll gate, along the Lekki-Epe Expressway, on October 12th.
The protesters grounded vehicular traffic along the expressway to a halt.
Several residents who have to access the toll gate to get to work had to take other routes.
