There is palpable tension in Nigeria’s commercial city, Lagos, over another round of End SARS protest at the Lekki toll gate on Saturday.
This time, the protesters are sharply divided. While one party is in support of the demonstration, the other is against.
DAILY POST observed that the opposing groups are strategizing and pushing their narratives on social media via #OccupyLekkiTollGate and #DefendLagos.
The federal and Lagos governments, as well as the Police, have threatened to crush any gathering. Citing the October riots, authorities vowed not to allow an assembly that might be hijacked.
The call for Saturday’s protest commenced after the Lagos Panel of Inquiry approved the reopening of the toll plaza.
