Police shoot Lekki toll gates protesters

Lagos lekki protesters

Police shot rifles and fired tear gas at protesters who were demonstrating against toll roads in Lekki on Saturday, Nollywoodgossip has learned.

Witnesses said at least one person was seriously wounded by gunfire.

We learned that pressmen were also rough handled and thrown into the back of police truck after their cameras were seized.

Saturday’s protest focused on anger over the state government allowing a private company that built a major road in Lagos to collect tolls there.
