According to reports, people were killed and several sustained injuries from gunshots after the security cameras and street lights were put out at the scene earlier.
This is coming after a curfew was imposed by the Lagos State Government starting from 4 pm but was later moved to 9 pm.
However, the protesters were still at the venue of the protests before security operatives stormed the place and opened fire on them.
Reacting on what has now become a world news, celebrities like Omoni Oboli, Genenvieve Nnaji, M.I and more had this to say....
Omoni Oboli while reacting on twitter wrote; ''All we want is a better Nigeria. If you don’t want that, you are an enemy of Nigeria! #EndBadGoveranceInNigeria #EndSars
''They are shooting at the peaceful protesters at Lekki toll. Please help
