Following the planned protest slated for today over the move to reopen Lekki Toll Plaza in Lagos State, the State Police Command has deployed its men to the Lekki toll plaza along the Lekki-Epe expressway.
According to reports, vehicles were seen moving freely in the area on Saturday morning. A group of journalists were also seen at the venue of the protests.
Thelagostimes recalls that the State Judicial Panel of Enquiry had granted LCC’s request to take repossession of the toll gates at Lekki-Epe expressway and Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge. However, the panel was divided over the decision, as some didn’t support the decision.
Meanwhile, as at the time of filing this report, heavily armed mobile police officers were reportedly still at the toll gates while vehicles were passing at the gates unhindered.
