EndSARS: Rename Lekki Tollgate, make it free – Alex Ekubo

Popular Nollywood actor Alex Ekubo has asked for the Lekki Tollgate to be renamed in honour of those who lost their lives on Tuesday, October 20, 2020.

On Thursday, Ekubo announced this in a post on his official Instagram account.

Remember how, precisely two years ago, killings at the Lekki Tollgate, purportedly carried out by the Nigerian Army to quell young protests against police brutality, sent the entire country into mourning?

During the #EndSARS protest that took place two years ago, Ekubo uploaded images from the demonstration against police violence.

He wrote: “Dear Nigerian Government, we will NEVER forget this day. 20 – 10 – 20. We will return the favour. The Labour of our heroes past shall never be in vain.

“I still maintain, Lekki Toll plaza should be renamed Lekki Memorial Way & remain toll free forever. We paid in full with our blood.”
