Policemen and soldiers out to enforce a 24-hour curfew at Lekki Toll Gate had shot at #EndSARS protesters Tuesday night.

The shooting led to the dispersal of some of the protesters, who had remained at the Plaza, hours after the curfew went into force.

Video clips from the scene, showed some protesters on the floor, hit by bullets.

Staccato of gunshots can be heard from a video, as some of the protesters ran for their lives.
