Police teargas #EndBadGovernance protesters at Lekki toll-gate

Police operatives have teargassed protesters at the Lekki toll-gate area of Lagos State, causing #EndBadGovernance protesters to scamper for safety.
Battle-ready security operatives comprising men of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), Nigerian Army, and others, had earlier stationed at strategic positions around the toll-gate, in readiness for the protesters.
Addressing the protesters, a security operative directed them to join other protesters at the designated locations for the protest.

Recall that a Lagos State High Court had, on Tuesday, restricted protesters participating in the nationwide protest to specific locations within the state.
Justice Emmanuel Ogundare, while ruling on an ex parte application by the Lagos State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Lawal Pedro, (SAN), ordered that protests could only take place at the Gani Fawehinmi Freedom Park in Ojota and Peace Park in Ketu.
It was believed that it was due to the protesters’ defiance of the court order that made the police fire the teargas in order to disperse them.
