JUST IN: Lekki Toll Gate-Security Agents Are Ready For Any Eventuality - Lai Mohammed | READ DETAILS

The Minister for Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed in Abuja warned against the plan for a renewed protest at Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos state as from Saturday.

The Minister said: "any further resort to violence in the name of #EndSARS will not be tolerated this time.

ÔÇØ The security agents are ready for any eventuality. A situation in which six soldiers and 37 policemen were murdered in cold blood by hoodlums will not repeat itself.

ÔÇØ The attack, looting and razing of 269 private and public property will not happen again. The killing of 57 civilians will not be re-enacted.ÔÇØ

ÔÇØ No government anywhere will allow a repeat of the kind of destruction, killing and maiming wrought by the hijackers of #EndSARS protests last year.

ÔÇØ After all, only one policeman - (plus four others) - was killed in the invasion of the US Capitol in January, yet the FBI has continued to hunt down and prosecute the perpetrators. No life is more important than the other.ÔÇØ

According to Mohammed, intelligence report indicates that some of the #OccupyLagos planners are not Nigerians.
He therefore warned those planning the protest to retrcae their steps.

ÔÇØ We therefore strongly warn those who are planning to re-occupy Lekki Toll Gate on Saturday to desist.
ÔÇØ We know that many of those who have been loudest on social media in advertising the plan to reconvene in Lagos on Saturday are not even in Nigeria.
"They are elsewhere around the world fanning the embers of violence and inciting gullible people back home. No one should fall for their antics" the minister said.
