Fresh protests by Nigerian youths have been monitored in Lagos and Osun states.
The #EndSARS protesters who stormed the streets demanded the release of all protesters taken into custody by the police.
In Lagos, demonstrators have returned to Lekki toll plaza, the scene of the military shooting currently under probe.
Teams of policemen and soldiers are around to forestall a breakdown of law and order while security has been heightened at other flash points in Lagos, Nigeria’s biggest city.
Meanwhile, the Police have debunked the news of fresh protest at Lekki Toll gate.
The #EndSARS protesters in Osogbo, the Osun state capital, converged at the Ogo-Oluwa area and marched to the Osun State House of Assembly and the State Secretariat, Abere.
The protesters stormed the streets demanding the release of all protesters taken into custody by the police.
They also clamoured for the unfreezing of their accounts by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
The protesters carried different placards which read: “We are not fighting for any political party”, “#End Bad Judiciary in Nigeria”, “#End fake judicial panel of Inquiry in Osun”, “Unfreeze all the frozen account”, ” We are Nigerian youths” among others.
On Sunday, the police reiterated its ban on gatherings, warning that such might be hijacked by unscrupulous elements.
The End SARS protest initially started on October 8 in Lagos. The youth-led outcry spread to other states.
For nearly two weeks, agitators demanded for an end to police brutality. Their resilience forced the police to scrap the notorious unit, Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).
But the protest went awry from October 21, one day after the Lekki shooting. Hoodlums, in many states, targeted attack on residences and businesses.
The ensuing break down of law and order led to the death of uncertain number of civilians and security operatives.
