The Federal Government of Nigeria has promised to crush any fresh protest at Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos State.
It also warned Nigerians from participating in any protest to block the toll gate, adding that all security agencies have been put on the alert to curtail any protest.
It said protests are constitutionally allowed only in designated places but not toll gates. It confirmed intelligence report which showed that the latest protest might be hijacked to cause violence nationwide.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alh. Lai Mohammed spoke in Abuja against the backdrop of a renewed protest at Lekki Toll Gate as from Saturday.
He warned those planning the protest to shelve it, as intelligence report indicated that some of those planners are non-Nigerians.
“We therefore strongly warn those who are planning to re-occupy Lekki Toll Gate on Saturday to desist. ”
“We know that many of those who have been loudest on social media in advertising the plan to reconvene in Lagos on Saturday are not even in Nigeria.
“They are elsewhere around the world fanning the embers of violence and inciting gullible people back home. No one should fall for their antics. “
