Twitter users were alarmed by this and warned that a crime was about to be committed that wasn’t meant to be caught on camera.
Not long after the photos were shared, the lights around the Lekki toll gate were put off and gunshots were fired at the End SARS protesters.
Nigeria is going through one of its worst times and its getting really bad.
Reports reaching us this evening confirm that the Lekki-Toll Gate was set on fire, shortly after seven peaceful #ENDSARS protesters died from gunshot wounds sustained when Nigerian Armed forces opened fire.
A video now making the rounds online shows a burning Lekki/Ikoyi Toll Gate and it has given Lagosians cause to worry.
Brave End SARS protesters were captured on camera trying to remove a bullet from the leg of a young man who was shot at the Lekki toll gate earlier this evening.
Quite a number of the EndSARS protesters stood their grounds at the Lekki toll gate on Tuesday, October 20, 2020 in spite of the impromptu curfew imposed on residents.
As it gradually became dark, the security cameras at the toll gate were removed by some unidentified men. Not long after, the source of light at the toll gate was put off and then gun shots rang out, hitting some protesters.
As at the time of filing this report, about 7 people are reported to have died with a number of people are injured.

Lagos State Governor. Babajide Sanwo-Olu revealed that imposing the 24-hour curfew on the state following the increasing spate of violent attacks by hoodlums, was a difficult decision to make.
In a post shared on his social media page on Tuesday evening, October 20, Sanwo-Olu said was very impressed with the #EndSARS protests when it started initially but he is now saddened by the fact that hoodlums have hijacked the protest and seized it as an opportunity to carry out wanton destruction.
See his post below ;
”The total breakdown of law and order by hoodlums who unleashed mayhem on innocent citizens and our dear state, prompted our decision to impose the 24 hour curfew.
I identify wholeheartedly with the #endsars protesters, and made sure Lagos state created a habitable environment for them to air their grievances and complaints without intimidation. I immediately swung into action as soon as I was presented with their demands. Changes that could be made immediately were done. And the ones that required a process, were kickstarted.
I watched keenly as humanity and love for one another thrive during the protests. A groundnut seller received life changing funds to grow her business, Jane got a prosthetic leg, people who lost their personal items got them back, new friendships were formed, protests grounds were tidied at the end of each day. Those actions made me proud and I was glad that Lagos state had set herself apart.
However, it is sad to see what was meant to be a life changing, boundary breaking, swift decision making, and status quo changing movement turn into a total bedlam by people who do not know the reasons why the protests started in the first place.
I watched these heartbreaking videos, and as Governor, history will not be kind to me if I fold my hands and allow arsonists, hoodlums, and anarchists hide under the guise of the #endsars protests to wreak havoc on the state, and put the lives of the very people I swore to protect in danger.
Imposing this curfew was difficult, especially as we have just returned from a COVID19 required lockdown. This curfew will allow security officials to immediately restore order to the state, and arrest the miscreants that have disrupted the peaceful protests.”
Viral reports and videos making the rounds on social media shows the sad moment Nigeria’s armed forces opened fire on peaceful #ENDSARS protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate.
According to some reports, four persons have died as a result of the shooting.
Nigerians have bemoaned this situation and they took to social media to strongly condemn it.

A Nigerian man identified as Daniel Usoroh has kicked against the actions of those who rejoiced after receiving free credit alerts from their banks.
According to him, real believers wouldn’t rejoice over money which they didn’t work for, but will rather proceed to the bank for proper investigations about the money.
In his words;
“They hack your bank and send you money, you spent it? You have really acted like an unbeliever whose father is the devil.
Angry, offended or not, if it’s not your money, it’s not your money. The bank will accept it and thank you”, he wrote.
#Revolutionnow convener, Omoyele Sowore has advised protesters on the course of action to take during the curfew declared in some states.
Sowore encouraged the protesters to go ahead with the protests at the various locations, despite the imposed curfew.
Recall that Edo and Lagos state has issued 24-hour curfew due to the growing tension caused by the protest.
Reacting to the curfew, Sowore said protest is an essential service to the nation, hence protesters should resume at their duty post and continue protesting.
He wrote,
“#Endsars Please if any state or city declares a curfew, as #Lagos just did, just go to a designated protest ground with enough supplies. Let the “curfew” meet you at a place of righteousness. Stay their protesting until the curfew is lifted. Thank you! #Revolutionnow”
#Endsars All Lagos based #Endsars protesters must note that protest against oppression, tyranny, bad governance is essential service. All men and women of good conscience protesting should resume at their duty posts and continue their services to the nation!#RevolutionNowpic.twitter.com/zZqGqM1YEf
Aggrieved youths in Ondo state, protesting for a total reform of the Nigerian police force, purportedly rejected the sum of N2m offered to them by a senator to enable him pass a roadblock.
It was gathered that the senator driving his Range Rover, arrived one of the protest venue in Ondo state and asked that protesters allow him pass.
When they blatantly refused, he offered N2 million naira so that his request will be granted, however, the youths still turned him down despite the huge sum of money.
According to reports, the senator had to trek to a nearby hotel to take solace, as protesters detained his car and used it to form another blockade.
Suspected hoodlums in Ajegunle have set ablaze Layeni Police Station at Ifelodun Local Council Development Area of Lagos state.
This is coming moments after thugs burnt down Orile police station in the state, which resulted in the government suspending all forms of protest in Lagos, and announced a 24-hour curfew.
The incident is reported to have occurred around 11am Tuesday, October 20.
An eyewitness simply identified as Ladipo said at least eight people were injured in the attack.
He stated that the hoodlums heard that policemen were killing their people in Iganmu, which fueled their agitation to burn down the police station.
“There is tension everywhere. We have rushed eight people to the hospital. They were critically injured” he added.
The Chief Press Secretary of Ajeromi Ifelodun LCDA, Sheriff Fakunle has confirmed the tragic incident.
Fakunle said,
“Yes, it is on fire. Layeni Police Station has been torched. The incident happened around 11 am. At Ajeromi police station, the hoodlums were repelled.”
One time president of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo has advised president Buhari on how to handle the ongoing #EndSARS demonstrations in the country.
According to Obasanjo, Buhari should address the demands of the aggrieved youths, and show that his administration understands their plight.
Obasanjo, who spoke in Ile Ife, during a visit to Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi palace, noted that, the youths are frustrated due to lack of opportunities.
In his words,
More than 65 percent of our population are between the ages of 18 and 30. They are not only struggling to acquire education, they are also aspiring for the best that life can offer them.
Some of them didn’t even get educated while those who are educated are getting frustrated because of lack of opportunities. We must realize that the lid on the boiling steam would have to be removed.
But, I believe that there are windows of opportunity which the government can explore to show that it cares about the people’s welfare, especially the youths, as the father of the country and particularly, as the father of the youth.
Fortunately, the president has children and he knows how youths behave. I believe that the opportunities can still be taken to let the youths know that he, as a father, understands their plight and his government understands their plight and he is ready to make life better for them.
The Nigerian Senate has called on President Buhari to urgently address the nation so as to douse the tension in the country.
This comes as hoodlums continue to carry out various attacks on #EndSARS protesters and others in some parts of the country.
The Senators made the call for President Buhari to speak to the Nation after a motion was moved by Senator Biodun Olujimi and co-sponsored by all Senators on the ongoing nationwide protests believed to have been hijacked by hoodlums.
Part of the resolution of the Senators after deliberation include;
Urge all tiers of government to put in place and sustain policies of social economic reforms that raise the standard of lives of our people;
Call upon the Police to operate strictly in accordance with the rules of engagement appropriate in a democratic environment;
Urge the Inspector General of Police to ensure a holistic comprehensive reforms of the police to increase the overall welfare including training and medical insurance of all members of the Nigeria Police Force
Appeal to all Nigerians to resort to use of legal institutions to resolve disputes and conflicts;
Urge the Nigerian youths and the Nigerian citizens to approach the National Assembly Committees Constitution and Reforms in order to secure far-reaching holistic amendments that are vital to the restructuring of our federation
Urge the Federal Government to faithfully and comprehensively implement all the five demands of the #EndSARS movement and protesters with necessary timelines to rekindle confidence in government
Appeal to #EndSARS movement and protesters to kindly in the interest of everyone stop their actions and embrace genuine dialogue; 7. Urge Mr. President to address the nation as soon as possible on these issues.
Police should make it a duty to accompany protesters and should be involved in protecting genuine protesters.
Former artiste manager and ex-wife of singer, 9ice, Toni Payne has revealed that she cannot marry a man that doesn’t vote or care for social justice.
According to the poet, men who do not vote or in anyway care for social justice, are not her spec when it comes to choosing a life partner.
In her words,
“I can’t marry a man that doesn’t vote or care much for social justice.”
A quick tour on Toni’s Twitter page depicts her as someone who’s interested in political discussions, and one who cares about social justice, therefore, it’s only right that she wants to marry her match.
In other news, Toni taking to social media has stated that being a woman in Nigeria can be difficult, as she describes Nigeria as a ‘female unfriendly environment’.
She tweeted,
Being a woman in Naija must be a super sport. Navigating through life with myopic minds surrounding you. I can’t imagine having to endure such a toxic – female unfriendly environment with no way out. I am fully aware of my privilege and I don’t take it for granted. Grateful!

Adamu had taken to his Twitter page to write an open letter to Twitter CEO, Jack, telling him that he’ll be suing him for meddling in affairs of the country and should expected a court summon soon.
Reacting to this, Nigerian singer, Peruzzi asked Adamu not to disgrace himself as his motive is not “fresh” at all. He then asked him to think deeply about it and maybe ask another person to think for him if his brain is weak.
Peruzzi wrote,
No dey disgrace yourself like this. This P no fresh at all. You sef reason am or tell person to help you reason am if your brain don tire.
Here’s what Adamu wrote to Jack Dorsey,
Dear @jack
Sequel to my earlier message to you on meddling in Nigerian affairs where you actively supported, encouraged funding & sponsorship of #EndSars protest, should it lead to breaking of law & order, we’ll meet in court
I’d like to inform you to get set & face me in court
As you maybe aware, Nigeria is currently going through several issues regarding breaking of law and order in many cities, from prison break, to burning of a mall, destructions of properties and even lives.
These actions should never be left without its attendant consequences.
You must be prepared to pay for the damages caused as a result of these protest-turned riots
It’s important for you to know that Nigeria is a country governed by law & order, you should be prepared to face our justice system to ascertain our level of democracy you wish to injure
Your meddling into a sovereign Nation, against the international principle of Right to Protect vested on democratically elected government, your gross abuse of previledge by using your platform to inflame an otherwise tensed country, putting our people at risk should be answered.
You must be prepared to:
1. Pay fine and compensate for the damage you have caused this country.
2. Open a local office in Nigeria, employ local labor, pay local tax to continue to operate in Nigerian internet space.
3. Publish a written apology to Nigerian people & Government.
Furthermore, since the Berlin conference, where African future was “shared” among the European Powers, African was absent & silent. We will no longer be silent in the 21st Century any longer.
You shall have to understand that Africa is a continent of law & traditions & customs.
You cannot colonize us by using our resources in the 19th Century, Colonize our industries in the 20th Century and now colonize us using information war on your scheming for a divide and rule by chaos, uprising and disorder.
Nigeria and Nigerians cannot allow that to happen.
From Kano to Kalabari, Oyo to Kororofa, Arochukwu to Zaria, Benin to Bornu, Sokoto to Ife to Borgu, Nigeria is a nation with Kingdoms, Empires & peopled with History and values, If you cannot mutually treat us as a fellow humans of one community, we shall not let you destroy us.
As a Nigerian Citizen, a committed patriot and a stakeholder in the Nigerian Project, you shall meet me in court to answer for your meddling in the affairs of a sovereign Nation without
@UN
council resolution.
As a private citizen, you have to and should face the consequences.
Due to the attacks on innocent Nigerians and police officers, the Lagos State Police Command has placed a ban on all gatherings and protest across the state henceforth.
The state police announced this in a media release issued on Tuesday by the State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Olumuyiwa Adejobi.
The statement read: “The Lagos State Police Command wishes to inform the general public that henceforth no protest or gathering or possession, under whatever guise, is permitted within Lagos State.”
“In the light of the above, all security agencies have deployed adequate personnel to take charge and enforce the curfew across the state.”
This comes after an imposition of a 24 hours curfew in the state.
Hoodlums have again hijacked what was supposed to be a peaceful protest in Lagos, and burnt down Orile police station in the state.
The incident which occurred today, October 20th, has resulted in the state government suspending all forms of protest in Lagos, as announced a 24 hour curfew.
Confirming the incident, the Lagos State police spokesperson, Muyiwa Adejobi stated that many of its officers were injured in the attack while an unconfirmed report claims one of them is dead.
In his words,
Due to the new development of violent attacks on police officers and men and formations including innocent Nigerians in Lagos State, and the 24 hour curfew imposed by the Lagos State Government with effect from 4pm of today 20th October, 2020, the Lagos State Police Command wishes to inform the general public that henceforth no protest or gathering or possession, under whatever guise, is permitted within Lagos State.
In the light of the above, all security agencies have deployed adequate personnel to take charge and enforce the curfew across the state.
In the same vein, the command regrets to confirm the setting ablaze of Orile Police State today at about 10am, where some of our policemen were critically injured and unconfirmed reports state that one of them is dead.
Its crystal clear that the Endsars protest has been hijacked by hoodlums who want to run down the state and the police command will resist such state of anarchy, unrest and brouhaha with all powers within the ambit of the law.
While the command is resolute in sustenance of human rights and democratic tenets, the general public is hereby warned to comply with the curfew and desist from any act of violence in the state as the command will resist such in totality.
Kenyan singer, Victoria Kimani has revealed that she has never felt safe or protected by an African man.
The 35-year-old artiste took to Twitter to share her bias about the patriarchy mentality of black men. According to her, they hate it when their women have a voice or opinion, contrary to theirs.
She opined that African men reduce the self worth of their women to a level that serves them only.
Victoria, who in the series of tweets was advocating against sexism and gender based violence, stated that women are not punching bags, sex toys, ego boosters or servants.
Her tweets reads,
“I can’t lie … have I ever felt safe or protected by African men? Nope
African men reduce their women … constantly. Break them down to a size that serves them only.
Damned if I do & damned if I don’t
It’s in your Dna …. you can’t help it.
African women are Not your punching bag…not your sex toy, not your ego boosters, not your servant and certainly, not your enemy.
Common sense is NOT common!
I’m far from an empty vessel … I have an opinion & I have a voice.
They don’t even want you to own your own thoughts …. much less own your voice.”
Nigerian singer, Falz has called out the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu over the current situation of the country.
The award winning actor said that, in any sane society, the IGP would have resigned following the numerous cases of human rights violations perpetrated under his leadership.
In an appearance he made on Arise News, Falz noted that for people to leave the streets, justice has to be served in a transparent manner.
He then queried why the 5 points agenda of the youths is taking time to implement, stressing that the IGP should have resigned if the nation is a sane one.
“It is unfair to the lives that have been lost that you are coming here and telling us to get off the streets, it is extremely unfair. In fact, it is terrible for any human being to, without justice being done, tell people to get off the streets. I completely disagree with that. If you want people off the streets, make sure that justice is done and in a way that is transparent. Which one of those points really need time?”, he began.
“If we are being honest with ourselves, which one of all the points on the 5 for 5 agenda really needs time? You really need time to release all arrested peaceful protesters? Or you really need time to ensure that justice is done and appropriate compensation? What real actions have you taken to show that you are serious about doing this. Look at how long they dragged their feet for, even before they created the state panels. For example, nobody has been sacked. In any sane society, the Inspector General of Police would have already resigned by himself”, Falz added.

In her words,
I got to know years later when I wanted to travel and was looking for my passport where my mum kept it. Since she was not around, I opened the box in her absence and I saw my adoption papers. I never discussed it with my mum because I felt it was something that would hurt her, that was why, it was kept secret from me.
