Lagos police brutalise Lekki toll gate protesters
December 17, 2011

Officers of the Lagos State Police Command today brutalised defenceless citizens protesting the introduction of a toll gate along the Lekki expressway in Lagos. Eye witnesses say the police threw caution to the wind as they tear-gassed, pushed, shoved, beat protesters, leaving some of them unconscious, the Nigeria Police Watch is reporting.
Some protesters, we are told, were arrested and taken to an unknown destination. Fully armed officers were dispelled to quel the protest which was peaceful until the police moved in.

For the time being, let me leave out the violent response and harassment of protesters, including students against Fashola's senseless hike in LASU fees

Hopefully, seeing that the poster boy "excellent governor" of the Association of Pretending Crooks, APC has reacted equally violently against protesters will enable us to re-focus discussion of the candidates for elections to examining whether their track records align with their promise or not to warrant any hope of fulfilling them.
Candidates for elections as:

- President
- Senator
- Representative
- Governor
- State HoA lawmaker
