Despite the 24 hours curfew put in place by the Lagos state government on Tuesday, #EndSARS protesters are still converging on the Lekki Toll Gate, further demanding an end to police brutality and Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).

Tribune Online gathered that the youth at the protest ground who were seen holding on to Nigerian flags are being motivated by the fellow protesters on the need to continue the struggle.

A resident of the area, Mr Abdulrahman said that some of the protesters are still there fighting for the demand even as government imposed 24 hours curfew on the state.

He said that some of them have gone to their homes even though they were not happy towards the development.

Abdulrahman added that a group called “Feminist Co” allegedly handling the funds belonging to the struggle had urged the protesters on their Twitter page to leave the protest ground for their different homes.

This plea did not however go down with those at the tool gate.
