The Judicial Panel of Inquiry set up by the state of Lagos to investigate the Lekki shooting has decided to reopen the Lekki Toll Gate. This has sparked outrage on social media, with the hashtag OccupyLekkiTollGate trending for hours.

The Lekki Toll Gate is run by the Lekki Concession Company (LCC) in an agreement with the Lagos government, generating billions yearly. Nigerians online expressed anger at the reopening the Toll Gate without satisfactory conclusion on the #EndSARS investigation.

The planned protest is set to take place on 13th February, 2021 at Lekki Toll Gate. This will surely will bring back the #ENDSARS movement, which has showed brief glimpses online since the October protests in response to pockets of policy brutality.
