Security operatives have arrested no fewer than ten protesters at the Lekki toll gate, one of the coordinators of #OccupyLekkiTollgate has said.
Kunle Ajayi told Punch that the protesters were detained in a black maria and are about to be taken to an unknown location.
“Police have just arrested ten protesters – Four ladies and six guys. They were beaten mercilessly and injured,” he said.
In a video, one of the arrested protesters said, “We have been arrested. Over ten of us. We are kept in a black maria stationed at the toll gate now.”
