The Nigerian Army on the chilly evening of Tuesday, the 20th of October, 2020, rained live bullets at unarmed young protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate, after the Lagos State Governor Sanwo-Olu declared a 24-hr curfew, OYOGist.com reports.

The Governor had declared a 24-hr curfew at 12PM on Tuesday, and given the citizens of the notoriously gridlock-ridden Lagos State barely 4hrs to get back home and observe a curfew that’ll start by 4PM.

The protesters that were caught at the Lekki Toll Plaza were greeted by heavily armed military men, and tanks, with automatic assault rifles fired at them.
