1 / 2

Police officers reportedly fired tear gas at a gathering marking the sixth anniversary of the #EndSARS protests at Lekki Tollgate, Lagos, on October 20, 2026. Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour and Funso Doherty were among those affected as participants prepared to lay wreaths in honour of people who died during the 2020 protests against police brutality. The disruption prevented the planned memorial ceremony from proceeding as intended. Activists renewed calls for justice for victims, accountability for abuses, police reform and protection of the right to peaceful assembly.
