Thirty-four suspects arrested by security agents during a clampdown on protesters marking the first anniversary of the #EndSARS protest at the Lekki Toll Gate on Wednesday have been arraigned in court.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Adekunle Ajisebutu, in a statement on Thursday, said the suspects, some of whom were arrested with different weapons, were arraigned in Magistrate’s Court 5, in the Oshodi area of the state.
He stated that the memorial protest was peaceful without threat to the security of lives and property until some hoodlums infiltrated the protesters.
He noted that one Shina Edun, of Man O’ War personnel attached to the Lekki Concession Company, was stabbed in the stomach by the hoodlums, adding that the victim was rushed to the hospital for treatment.
× Ajisebutu said, “Following the criminal act by the hoodlums, the police responded swiftly and dispersed them with minimum force. Consequently, 34 hoodlums were arrested. Two cutlasses, one hammer, a jackknife and assorted criminal charms were recovered from them.
“The arrested suspects have been arraigned in Magistrate Court 5, Oshodi on the same day before Magistrate Israel Adelakun for the offence of conduct likely to cause a breach of the peace.
“One of them was discharged and acquitted, while one other named Chukwu Chika, 24, who was arrested with a sharp cutlass and assorted charms confessed that he deliberately came to cause violence and mayhem.
“The court ordered the police to carry out a thorough investigation on his case and charge him to court appropriately.”
Ajisebutu said the state Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, apologized to any media person whose right was inadvertently infringed upon while the security personnel were preventing a breakdown of law and order.
“The CP assures members of the public that, in line with the policy of the Inspector-General of Police, Alkali Usman, of making the police accountable to members of the public, uphold the tenets and principles of fundamental human rights, and professional in carrying out their statutory duties, training and retraining of the officers and men shall continue to be intensified,” the statement read in part.

There's no institution in Nigeria now that doesn't have a representative of lying Muhammed. Nobody came to that place with anything or is Nigeria Flag now a weapon?
I am a parent to 4 children and I love them to death, that the mere thought of anything bad happening to them will almost kill me. So I understand the love of children. Nothing in this life will hold me back from coming forward if my son or daughter was killed. Is it the fear of death? I am ready to die for my children.
Yesterday, I called my daughter and when I couldn’t reach her, which is unlike her, all hell was let loose in my head. My imagination ran wide. Could something had happened to her? What could have happened? I started calling her friends and peppering them with questions: when last did you speak to her or heard from her? I was a wreck emotionally until she called me to say” Daddy I turned-off my phone to have some rest, I’m sorry”. That is me, and i not alone in feeling this way. Almost every parent will feel and act the same way.
I just can’t imagine that we have parents out there whose children were killed in Lekki by soldiers and they won’t come forward because of fear? Fear of what? Death? Common! If your child was killed in Lekki and you are not coming forward, you are doing your child and country the greatest disservice and dishonor. Go to the Panel set-up by the government with your claim. Come forward to us, we will help you. Your child does not deserve to die incognito. Please come forward now. I’m begging you with everything.
For those of you who don’t have children and have not experienced the love between children and parents, you may not know the gravity of the issue. You are just using your celebrity status to traffic suspicion. I plead with you to help the rest of us by coming forward with the evidence of the massacre that happened in Lekki. Evidence of one or two killings will be enough. Do you think that some people asking for evidence are soulless people, they are human beings with feelings like you. This isssue is beyond politics. It is about our collective humanity.
You are calling for justice for those killed by calling on the government to arrest and prosecute the soldiers who “ killed” the people, but you are not forthcoming with any evidence. You have no names, bodies, and families of the dead. All you have is a claim of suspicion. Suspicion no matter how strong and pervasive is no evidence. No court of law will convict a person for murder without evidence that will prove the crime beyond reasonable doubt.
On the night of the allege massacre, Channels TV, Olu Philips, was on ground at Lekki reporting live. Can you guys approach Channels TV and obtain their video and prove to us that there was a massacre? It is not enough to cite google as evidence. I’m appealing to Falz, Mr Macaroni, Don Jazzy, PSquare, and all the leaders of the protest, to put up evidence backing their claim of a massacre or shut it down. They owe us a duty to disclose and substantiate. The country will forever be grateful to you guys if can come forward with the evidence. We are waiting.
To the families of policemen killed during the protest, are prayers are with you.
What is the main purpose of the endsars anniversary protest? Yeah SARS was ended (on paper of course) but has police brutality reduced? Has governance improved? We are still running around chasing shadows. What are the plans the youths are making to change the narrative come 2023? Oh! I forgot, Western youths are preparing that Opolo eye greatgrandpa-with-age-reduced-to-grandpa from Lagos. The Northern youths are preparing for Atiku of course while the Eastern youths want Biafra (the only resolute group by the way) 2023 will come and leave us worse off. Seems the only viable solution is to jappa from this country.

This narrative is dead on arrival
This is Nathaniel Solomon from Adamawa State. His brother, Abouta Solomon and three others were killed at the Lekki tollgate by the Nigerian Army. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlqMsACJK5M
How can you arrest people for protesting and parade them too?
No useless Buhari asslicker should quote me here. The end sars protest turned bloody and violent only when they sponsor some boys both uniform and uniform to attack protesters last year. Before then it was peaceful
What I know is that God in heaven will ensure this people don't go Scot free. They will pay for their atrocities
