Around 8:40 a.m., the protesters in various vehicles flooded the Lekki tollgate despite the heavy police presence holding on to the Nigerian flag while chanting #EndSARS and honking their horns.

Two of the organisers, the Nigerian rapper, Folarin Falana, known as ‘Falz’, and a comedian, Adebowale Adedayo, popularly called ‘Mr Macaroni’ also lent their voices to the demonstration.

Although the police allowed the demonstrators to have their way for about one hour, they began shooting tear gas at the demonstrators.

Hakeem Odumosu, the police commissioner, who was also at the Lekki toll gate on Wednesday said the activities of the youth were already causing a public discomfort and could not be allowed to linger further.

Mr Odumosu said he ordered the firing of teargas to avoid a breakdown of law and order, because the protesters went against the promise earlier made that the procession will start by 8 a.m. and end by 10 a.m.

“The protest was between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m., anything, after 10 am, is a nuisance.
I discussed with them and they said they will end the protest by 10 o’clock. Other people doing it now just causing a nuisance. Some with machete, hammer, are they protesters or miscreants?
