Ahead of the nationwide Hardship protest set to begin today, August 1, security personnel have been strategically deployed to the Lekki tollgate in Lagos State. LIB reports that these agents are stationed at various points around the tollgate, with several vans positioned at key locations to ensure order and public safety.
The Lekki tollgate holds significant historical importance due to its association with the October 2020 EndSARS protest, during which a tragic shooting incident occurred. This event led to a widespread crisis, with extensive damage to both government and private properties, as individuals exploited the situation for destruction.
Footage from the tollgate this morning shows limited vehicular movement, indicating reduced activity in the area. In preparation for the protest, banks, schools, businesses, and other public places have closed, highlighting the broad impact of the demonstration on everyday operations and public life.
