LEKKI, 15 February, 2021 (TON): Nigerians rallied against the reopening of the Lekki toll gate in Lagos, where the police shot at unarmed demonstrators and the place of the #EndSARS protest movement.

The people are demanding justice for the victims shot in October 2020 incident.

Amnesty International says at least 10 were killed in October.

One protester said, "For the people that were shot, for the people that died, for the people that have been amputated, for the people that have lost their loved ones, we want justice, nothing more than justice.”

A dozen protesters who rallied against the reopening were arrested as a commission was launched to investigate reports of police brutality which voted to reopen the tollgate.

However, it is observed that some protestors are denouncing President Buhari and his presidency and calling him to step down.
