#EndSARS: Protesters receive heavy gun fire at Lekki toll gate

Several people have been killed and others injured after security operatives opened fire at #EndSARS protesters in the Lekki area of Lagos State, witnesses have said.

Eye witnesses say Security operatives had stormed the scene of the protest on Tuesday night hours after the Lagos Government announced a 24-hour curfew and opened fire.

Some of them said that they shot directly at them with an intent to kill them.

Many others turned to social media to share their experiences. In various tweets and Instagram posts shared, many containing video clips capturing sounds of gunshots and people with gunshot wounds and more, the protesters expressed outrage at what transpired at the venue.

In the process, eyewitnesses said the security operatives fired live bullets at protesters there.

This, they said, resulted in the death of several persons with many others injured.

The witnesses said some government officials had come in the evening to unmount the CCTV cameras stationed at the toll gate.

They added that while the security operatives were carrying out the shooting, the light at the scene was put out.

In some of the videos shared on social media, people cluster together as they struggle to save some of those who sustained gunshot wounds during the incident.

The incident occurred hours after the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, announced a 24-hour curfew in the state.

Meanwhile, a GTBank branch was allegedly set ablaze by some hoodlums disguised as #EndSARS protesters.
