Some youths on Tuesday continued their #EndSARS protests at
Alausa, Lagos State despite the curfew imposed on the state.
Apart from the curfew imposed by the Governor, Babajide
Sanwo-Olu, the Lagos State Police Command also banned protests in the state.
A few hours after the curfew took effect, the youths
continued to push for their demands peacefully.
Though policemen and soldiers were deployed in the venue of
the protest, they did not disperse the protesters.
Some of the protesters guarded the vehicles of the policemen
to prevent them from being attacked by hoodlums.
When the military personnel got to the venue of the protest,
the youths formed a ‘guard of honour’ to welcome them and later rode on their
vehicle as a form of solidarity.
Also, the protesters failed to vacate the Lekki toll gate.
Instead, they sat on the floor as a symbol that they were
not ready to vacate the venue of the protest.

Earlier, the Lagos State Police Command had banned protests
in the state.
This was contained in a press statement by the Lagos Police
Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, on Tuesday.
The police ban came a few hours after the Lagos State
Government imposed a 24-hour curfew on the state, starting from 4 pm.
Before the declaration of the curfew, at least two police
stations were burnt in Lagos State by hoodlums.
The statement read in part, “Due to the new development of
violent attacks on police officers and men and formations including innocent
Nigerians in Lagos State, and the 24-hour curfew imposed by the Lagos State
Government with effect from 4 pm today October 20; the Lagos State Police
Command wishes to inform the public that henceforth no protest or gathering or
possession, under whatever guise, is permitted within Lagos State.
“In light of the above, all security agencies have deployed
adequate personnel to take charge and enforce the curfew across the state.
“The command regrets to confirm the setting ablaze of Orile
Police State today at about 10am, where some of our policemen were critically
injured and unconfirmed reports state that one of them is dead.”
The PPRO regretted that the #ENDSARS protests have been
hijacked by hoodlums.
“It’s crystal clear that the #ENDSARS protest has been
hijacked by hoodlums who want to run down the state and the police command will
resist such a state of anarchy, unrest, and brouhaha with all powers within the
ambit of the law.
“While the command is resolute in the sustenance of human
rights and democratic tenets, the public is hereby warned to comply with the
curfew and desist from any act of violence in the state as the command will
resist such in totality,” he added.
