Chanting solidarity songs, the protesters lamented the hunger in the country and urged the government to do something as quickly as possible.

Scores of security agents including policemen, soldiers, officers of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) and the Lagos State Neighbourhood Safety Agency were on ground at the iconic tollgate.

The security agents informed the demonstrators, mostly youths, of a court order restricting their gathering to the Gani Fawehinmi Park in Ojota and the Peace Park in Ketu, both areas in the Lagos mainland part of the state.

The pocket of youths who converged on the tollgate rejected the relocation to Lagos mainland and continued their demonstrations till they were dispersed by police teargas.
