#ENDSARS

#EndSARS protesters in the early hours on Monday, stormed Lagos State Secretariat, Alausa, Ikeja, and shut the premises preventing workers from entering the premises.

The protesters locked all the entrances to the state secretariat and turned back motorists and pedestrians from entering and exiting the premises.
Commuters were seen stranded at bus stops due to few commercial buses on the road.

Elsewhere in Nigeria’s commercial city, roads were blocked as early as 7am, forcing commuters to trek long distances to their intended destinations.

Areas like Awolowo Road, Ikeja, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Ikorodu Road, LASU-Iba Road by Isheri-Roundabout, Egbe-Idimu, Ikotun, Cele-Okota were on a standstill, as major arteries were barricaded by the protesters.
