About 35 #Endsars protesters arrested at the Lekki Toll Gate have been released on bail.
The protesters numbering about 35, were arrested on Saturday for taking part in a demonstration against the Lekki Concession Company (LCC) taking over the Lekki Toll Gate- the scene of October 20, 2020, killing of protesters by armed Nigerian soldiers.
Eons Intelligence gathered that the protesters were taken to Panti, a police unit notorious for handling tough criminal cases, then charged before a mobile court for breaking COVID-19 protocols and disobeying orders not to protest.
The protesters were released hours after Hakeem Odumosu, the Lagos State Commissioner of Police ordered the immediate release of the unarmed protesters.
