#EndSARS: Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge In Lagos On Fire

The bridge which connects Lekki to the Ikoyi axis of Lagos was on Tuesday night gutted by fire.

The bridge has been the alternative route for residents since #EndSARS protesters blocked the Lekki toll gates 13 days ago.

Recall that security officials on Tuesday evening opened fire on peaceful protesters that overstayed the 4 pm curfew declared by the Lagos State government.

It was reported that before the shooting began, the floodlights that lighted up the area went off, throwing the area into darkness.

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State had earlier on Tuesday declared a 24-hour curfew across the state.

The Governor who had fixed the curfew to start at 4 pm later released a statement extending the curfew commencement time to 9 pm.
