#DefendLagos: Bloody Clash Looms As Youths Plan Counter-Protest At Lekki Tollgate

A bloody clash may be in the horizon as some Nigerian youths have announced plans to organize a counter-protest at the Lekki tollgate on Saturday, February 13.

This is coming a few hours after some youths took to Twitter to call for a protest against the reopening of the Lekki tollgate.

The Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry probing the alleged killing of #EndSARS protesters by soldiers at the Lekki tollgate had, on Saturday, approved the reopening of the tollgate.

The panel's decision did not favor some Nigerians who have decided to stage a protest tagged #OccupyLekkiTollGate on February 13th.

However, a counter-rally, which is trending on Twitter as #DefendLagos and #DemNoBornYourPapaWell, is to protest against protesters of #OccupyLekkiTollGate.

The poster of counter-rally shared on social media showed that it is holding at the same venue and time as the one planned by the #OccupyLekkiTollGate protesters.

I wanna be remembered for my kindness, for showing up, for giving second chances, for acknowledging my own toxic traits & for loving selflessly. If that ain’t it then I failed horribly. Remember to extend grace because we’re all just walking each other home;#DefendLagos Lakers

On Saturday at #LekkiTollGate , the police won’t appear to disperse protesters of #OccupyLekkiTollGate , because the state players have financially engaged people against people through #defendlagos ; so if causalities occur, state would call it “ija igboro”
