Throngs of protesting youths on Tuesday continued their #EndSARS remonstrance at Alausa and Lekki toll gate despite the imposition of curfew by Lagos State government as well as the ban placed on protests, gathering or procession by the Commissioner of Police in the state.
It was gathered that few hours after the curfew took effect, the youths continued to agitate for their demands peacefully.
Though policemen and soldiers were deployed in the venue of the protest at Alausa, they did not use force on the protesters.
It was observed that some protesters guarded the vehicles of the policemen to prevent them from being attacked by hoodlums.
When the military personnel got to the venue of the protest, the youths formed a ‘guard of honour’ to welcome them and later rode on their vehicle as a form of solidarity.
Also, the protesters failed to vacate the Lekki toll gate. The protesting #EndSARS youths were seen sitting on the floor as a symbol that they were not ready to vacate the venue of the protest.
