Meanwhile, one of the attackers was unlucky as he was caught by the protesters and beaten to a pulp.
It was gathered that the thugs arrived the venue of the protest brandishing dangerous weapons including cutlasses and sticks.
As at the time of this report, the protesters had regrouped to continue with the demonstration.
A civil society organisation, Citizens Action for Good Governance, had earlier called for the total ban of all street protests including the #EndSARS agitation, saying it was a threat to national security.
But the demonstators ignored the sponsored group to continue their protest.
