The planned protest is on according to Nigeria info 99.3FM. I work in this area but not at work today. You may be close to the area, so update NLders with current status of the protest.

What is going on?
Re: Occupy Lekki: Lekki Toll Gate Protest-update by karlmax2: 12:45pm On Dec 17, 2011
Otokx here is what's happening quote from, The One:
Reporting live from the protest. We had a peaceful protest CAN sponsored thugs showed up with matchetes ans sticks and started attacking the protesters. We resisted and that was when the battalions of MOPOL started beating people and firing tear gas at us. We strategically retreated into Lekki phase one and locked the gates and they again charged at us with tear gas. At the same time they provided protection to the CAN thugs at the roundabout displaying banners that read "NURTW supports tolling". One image I will never forget is that of a ten year old looking girl raining curses on Fashola and his goons for the way they came to brutalize us. This is how it started in North Africa, if he thinks he can cow the populace with force then he is mistaken!

Re: Occupy Lekki: Lekki Toll Gate Protest-update by jmaine: 12:55pm On Dec 17, 2011
Banner showing NURTW supports tolling . . . Very funny  . . .Whoever was behind the idea of sponsoring such bold declaration is a big dummy . . . If care is not taken the unprovoked use of force by the security outfit on an initial peaceful protest would rather increase the agitation than reduce. Cos political thugs would hijack the show and there would be some blood letting  sad . . .some aggrieved LASU students might also use this as an opportunity to hit the government where it hurt most . . . . .
Re: Occupy Lekki: Lekki Toll Gate Protest-update by karlmax2: 12:56pm On Dec 17, 2011
Lagos State Government and LCC have used a coalition of thugs and MOPOL to disrupt what was a peaceful protest. People are being tear-gassed attacked by armed hoodlums and bundled into black marias. Women are being attacked and arrested. A lady I shall identify as MTA was arrested and taken to Maroko Divisional Police station, for daring to be attacked by hoodlums!!! There is chaos everywhere. SHAME ON FASHOLA, Nigeria Police AND BOLA AHMED TINUBU! Please rebroadcast to all your friends to expose the tyrants in our midst!!! #

The revolution has started in Lagos. Burn the anti-people thugs down. cool angry
Tinubu thinks Lagosians are cash cows to be mercilessly milked.

Re: Occupy Lekki: Lekki Toll Gate Protest-update by otokx(m): 1:03pm On Dec 17, 2011
I pity Lagos after Fashola; they are in so much debt.
Re: Occupy Lekki: Lekki Toll Gate Protest-update by jmaine: 1:05pm On Dec 17, 2011
Where is Akanbiedu who claimed that the Lagos state Government has no capacity to summon/order the police into action in the quest to cub perceived social unrest or combat security issues.

He even suggested that the unopposed OPC weapon showing display last week had the backing of the FG since no one was arrested.

Guess with the brutal showings of the police on tax payers . The FG sent message from above to protect the ACN led government in Lagos from a peaceful protest

Talk of hypocrisy.

what do expect from a goon who said the security situation in Lagos is at an all time high since 1999 , that asking around would confirm it, Cooger who i feel resides somewhere very far from home also corroborated the lie. but we all know better  cool

grin grin grin

I don't know what Fashola thinks he is doing on this issue and that of LASU fees increment.

@Beaf, be careful what you ask for because if Lagos burns, the whole of Nigeria is likely to go with it #Fact.
