(VIDEO) #EndSARS: Protesters Block Off Murtala Muhammed Toll

The protest for an end to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) has advanced to the Murtala International Airport toll gate, Ikeja, Lagos.

The peaceful protesters have placed blockades at the entry and exit points of the toll gate, preventing users from accessing the road.

Although the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu, announced the dissolution of the SARS unit, there are reports that SARS operatives have advanced to the Lekki toll gate area.image source: @NoraAwolowo on Twitterimage source: @NoraAwolowo on Twitterimage source: @NoraAwolowo on Twitter
