A reporter of Legit TV identified as Abimbola has been
reportedly arrested by the police operatives during EndSARS memorial protest at
Lekki Tollgate, Lagos State where some Nigerian youths were allegedly gunned
down on October 20, 2020.
Despite warnings by the Lagos State Police command against
the memorial protest, some activists, including Omoyele Sowore and others
stormed the area on Wednesday morning.
It was learnt that the journalist was picked after failing
to present his identity card. In a live video on Facebook, sighted Abimbola
being dragged by some police operatives.
Efforts to reach the State’s Police Public Relations
Officer, CSP Adekunle Ajisebutu for comment on the incident, proved abortive as
at press time as he could not take his calls.
However, the State’s Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu
had earlier today said the command would deploy all legitimate means to stop or
neutralise the planned protests to mark #EndSARS anniversary.
