Operations at the tollgate were suspended after the shooting of #EndSARS protesters on October 20, 2020.
But on Saturday, the judicial panel established by the Lagos state government to probe police brutality and human rights abuses
granted the prayers of the Lekki Concession Company (LCC), the operators, by approving the reopening of the tollgate
