The Federal Government has vowed to clampdown on any fresh protest at Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos by #EndSARS protesters.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed made this known on Thursday in Abuja at a press conference ahead of a planned protest at the Lekki tollgate in Lagos on Saturday.
Mohammed warned Nigerians against taking part in any protest to block the toll gate adding that all security agencies have been put on the alert to curtail any protest.
According to him, protests are constitutionally allowed only in designated places but not toll gates
The Minister said: “However, any further resort to violence in the name of #EndSARS will not be tolerated this time.

Mohammed warned those planning the protest to shelve it confirming that intelligence report showed that the latest protest might be hijacked to cause violence nationwide.
The minister also said the report indicated that some of those planners are non-Nigerians.
“We therefore strongly warn those who are planning to re-occupy Lekki Toll Gate on Saturday to desist.
“We know that many of those who have been loudest on social media in advertising the plan to reconvene in Lagos on Saturday are not even in Nigeria.
“They are elsewhere around the world fanning the embers of violence and inciting gullible people back home. No one should fall for their antics.” he added.
Former Governor of Lagos state, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, is dead. He died on Thursday morning in Lagos at 91. Jakande was a former journalist who brought a lot of development […]
