Officers of the Lagos State Police Command have put on a show of force at the Lekki tollgate ahead of a planned #OccupyLekkiTollgate protest on Saturday, February 13, 2021.

The operatives who were led by the head of the Rapid Response Squad, CSP Yinka Egbeyemi, also spotted at Ikoyi, Lekki toll gate, Ajah, Jakande Roundabout and Eti-Osa Areas of the state.

CSP Yinka Egbeyemi is presently leading a team of police officers on a show of force to Lekki Toll Gate (Admiralty Plaza) Obalende, Ikoyi, Jakande Roundabout, and other areas in Eti Osa as part of efforts to deter crime as well as boost the morale of his officers in the areas. pic.twitter.com/i8fXWrlN4m

The fresh protest was planned by concerned Nigerians disappointed in the decision of the Lagos State Judicial Panel for ruling in favour of Lekki Concession Company, for the Lekki tollgate to be reopened.

See how Nigerians are reacting to the news:

See as they dressed as if they are going for war. This package is just to protect an investment, Lekki Tollgate.

And Bandits, Fulani Herdsmen, Boko Haram are terrorizing people.

A reflection of the broken social contract between @followlasg and it's citizens.
It makes more sense for them to do this than simply say #LekkiTollGate will not be open until the judicial panel is done!#EndSARS #OfficeOfTheCitizen https://t.co/HBkfcIhO8M
