Police Fire Tear Gas At Rhodes-Vivour, Funso Doherty During EndSARS Memorial! by Historyrewrites(op): 2:17pm On Oct 20

Police Disrupt #EndSARS Memorial at Lekki Tollgate

Tension erupted at the Lekki Tollgate in Lagos on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, as police officers reportedly deployed tear gas to disperse a gathering marking the sixth anniversary of the #EndSARS protests.

Among those affected were Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour of the African Democratic Congress and Funso Doherty of the Nigeria Democratic Congress.

The memorial was organised to honour victims of the 2020 demonstrations against police brutality. Reports indicate that the police action disrupted the planned wreath-laying ceremony.

Despite the disruption, activists reiterated their calls for justice, accountability, and comprehensive police reforms. The incident has renewed concerns about the right to peaceful assembly in Nigeria.

They deserve it

How can u be so hypocritical that u call what happened at lekki massacre n u are ready to maintain that stand despite not showing us any corpse but u don't care about where corpses were floating in Anambra state?

One of these two will become the governor next year. Bookmark this space. Lagosians are tired of APC in Lagos.

The APC government in Lagos hasn't been able to solve the traffic situation, since 1999.

It hasn't properly managed waste in Lagos. The air is filled with stench from refuse. Is this what a smart city is made of in other climes?

With the wave of riots all over the world, you would expect a reasonable sane country to thread carefully when dealing with its people BUT not Nigeria.

It would seem there are certain people trying to disrupt the peace so they can cancel the upcoming elections based on insecurity claims.


Na lie. That one no go work. Start packing your bags.

It seems the potency of the tear gas now used in Nigeria has been nerfed.

I remember my experience with tear gas years ago, there is no way people would be still walking around if it was the type I experience back then.

You would not even wish that experience on your enemy.

Seyi’s father shows his dictatorial fangs, even though he pretends to be a democrat.

Original demonstration of craze, aka Fela.

Who is next, after Emefiele and El Rufai?

He built people, he built democracy. Last week he said he will send the SP to the opposition camp. Time will reveal itself 🤡

There is BLOOD at that toll gate, it has become a sacrificial point, anyone that dispute it have God and deads to contend with. APC and LCC should be bold to play CCTV recordings of that night. grin grin grin grin grin

The most useless people in Nigeria are Tinubu supporters who calls him father but choose to follow Peter Obi up and down as if he is their real father.

This is what I pray to see happen. I swear to God. I will vote NDC all through the elections. I don't want to know who is who. The gangsterism and arrogance of APC in Lagos needs to be checkmated.

People should pay attention to this guy, I think people from the other side are banking on this guy as their only hope to disrupt Lagos peace! But little did they know that the forces of Yoruba holding Lagos will always domesticate everything they throw at it.
