Teams of armed police officers have been dispatched to the Lekki toll gate in what appears to be an attempt to forestall another round of protests scheduled for tomorrow in Lagos.

Speaking with SaharaReporters, a source, who works in Lekki confirmed the heavy presence of police at the toll plaza.

Also, the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of the Lagos State Police Command confirmed the deployment.

Also, a tweet by the Lagos State Police Command II (rrslagos767) on Friday, said it had deployed operatives to the toll gate, Ikoyi, Jakande Roundabout, and Eti Osa areas of the state, led by the head of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), Yinka Egbeyemi.
