Police in Lagos have debunked reports that youths staged a protest at Lekki toll gate on Monday.
Lagos police spokesman Muyiwa Adejobi tweeted this to counter a video which has been circulated severally on social media with claims that it emanated from the protest ground.
Mr Adejobi said the video was from the #EndSARS protest in October.
He said: “The attention of the Lagos State police command has been drawn to this viral video that some youths staged a protest at Lekki tollgate today 7th Dec 2020. It’s not true. This was a very old video before the tollgate was set ablaze.”
Adejobi added that “Lagos has been calm and it will remain calm. No cause for alarm in Lagos State.”
He, however, urged Lagosians to go about their businesses without fear.
Qed.ng had earlier reported that the police and military were deployed to the toll gate to forestall the resumption of the #EndSARS protest against police brutality.
