As the nation marks the 3rd anniversary of the #EndSARS protest, the Lekki tollgate is guarded by heavily armed police officers, the epicenter of the event and shooting of protesters.
A memorial walk was organised to commemorate the tollgate shooting during the nationwide #EndSARS protests of 2020.
On Thursday, Mr Macaroni announced a peaceful walk to commemorate the third anniversary of the #EndSARS protest.
The 30-year-old made this known in an Instagram post on Thursday, where he disclosed that the peaceful walk will honour victims of the October 20 protest at the Lekki toll gate in Lagos.
Speaking on the anniversary, Mr Macaroni wrote: “3 Years now!!! We will Never Forget!!!#EndSars!!!!We will be walking peacefully to honour all those who lost their lives on 20/10/2020!!! We also walk for all those who have lost their lives as a result of police brutality in Nigeria!!! We walk in peace!!! We will never forget!”
Security operatives on the 20th of October, 2020 allegedly fired live bullets into a crowd of armless young Nigerians who had converged on the tollgate to protest decades of police brutality.
The death toll from the incident remains unclear, three years after.
During today’s peaceful match, former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore alleged police harassment in spite of the peaceful conduct of the protesters.
