The Lagos State police command has freed at 22 Nigerians detained during the #EndSARS memorial protest on Sunday.
These arrests took place at the Lekki tollgate area.
The protesters demanded the complete implementation of the findings from the judicial panels established following the protests.
Police officers dispersed the crowd that had gathered around 8:30 am to honour those who lost their lives during the police brutality protests in 2020.
Four years ago, thousands participated in the #EndSARS protests, opposing the actions of the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), which faced allegations of police brutality.
An Amnesty International report states that at least 12 protesters lost their lives in 2020 at the Lekki tollgate when Nigerian security forces fired upon them.
On Sunday, protesters were stopped from marching through the tollgate, and security forces detained demonstrators, including the organizer of the memorial event.
