The Police have dispatched teams
of operatives along the Lekki corridor ahead of Saturday’s End SARS protest at
the toll gate.
The Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of
the Lagos State Police Command confirmed the deployment.
“CSP Yinka Egbeyemi is presently
leading a team of police officers on a show of force to Lekki Toll Gate
(Admiralty Plaza) Obalende, Ikoyi, Jakande Roundabout, and other areas in Eti
Osa”, RRS tweeted Friday night.
The Police department said this
was “part of efforts to deter crime as well as boost the morale of his officers
in the areas”.
Two opposing camps –
#OccupyLekkiTollGate and #DefendLagos – are planning separate protests on
Saturday.
The call for Saturday’s protest
commenced after the 9-member of the Lagos Panel of Inquiry approved the
reopening of the toll plaza.
The chairman, Justice Doris
Okuwobi and four others ruled in favour of another application by the Lekki
Concession Company (LCC).
Others were DIG Taiwo Lakanu
(Police), Lucas Koyejo (National Human Rights Commission), Segun Awosanya
(Segalink) and Oluwatoyin Odusanya (Citizens Right).
The opposers were Ebun-Olu
Adegboruwa (SAN), Patience Udoh (Civil society), Rinuola Oduala and Temitope
Majekodunmi (Youths reps).
On Friday, Oduala stepped down
from the panel. The young activist alleged cover up.
