Police officers deployed at Lekki Tollgate to disperse protesters are using force on peaceful them.

A video from our correspondent at the venue show police shoving and pushing protesters into their waiting vans as they arrest them.

Many of the protesters could be heard demanding the release of those arrested among whom a comedian. Mr. Macaroni.

He was arrested with 22 others as they demand a stop to the proposed reopening of the tollgate which is a scene of unarmed protesters by the Nigerian army in October last year.

 

A Judicial Panel had ordered the reopening of the tollgate. The decision led to the withdrawal of a member of the Panel, Rinu Oduala.
