#DefendLagos trends as youths plan counter-protest at Lekki tollgate

#DefendLagos has taken social media by storm as some Nigerians are organising a counter-protest at the Lekki tollgate this Saturday, February 13, 2021.

This move comes barely hours after some Nigerians who are against the reopening of the Lekki tollgate created a hashtag #OccupyLekkiTollgate ahead of their protest on Saturday, February 13, 2021.

With some Nigerians taking to Twitter to express their displeasure in the protest, embarked on a #DefendLagos counter-protest which is said to be held at the same day and same place.

One of the promoters of the #DefendLagos protest, Olusoga Owoeye @olusogaowoeye wrote “Show your love for our Lagos. Get your friends and your neighbors to be there. Join the DefendLagos Rally at the Lekki toll plaza on the 13th of February. We will not cede our city to criminals and insurrectionists. Lagos is our pride.”

Another promoter, @salamhunters, wrote “We will defend and protect our Lagos from looters and arsonists.”
