#SARSMUSTEND: Protesters Block Lekki-Epe Toll Gate

Lagos residents protesting police brutality,
extrajudicial killings, and harassment by the Special Anti-Robbery
Squad (SARS) of the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) have laid siege to
the Lekki toll gate, along the Lekki-Epe Expressway.

The protesters gathered at the toll gate as early as 5:00 am to
protest. Their activities grounded vehicular traffic along the
expressway forcing commuters and motorists on their way to work to
a standstill.

Several residents who have to access the toll gate to get to
work said they had returned home because of the massive
traffic.

The protest demanding a total end to SARS operations comes after
IGP announced the disbandment of the police unit after several days
of protests last week.

The protesters are insisting that President Muhammadu Buhari
himself should make the pronouncement disbanding the SARS
operatives by way of an executive order. They are also demanding
the release of all those arrested and justice for the victims of
SARS brutality.

According to them, this is not the first time the IGP would
announce measures to disband the SARS operatives but such a
decision had gone without any effect in the past.

protest at Lekki Toll Gate:
