Policemen at the scene of the ongoing protest over the demolitions carried out in different parts of Lagos State have begun shooting tear gas to disperse protesters who are gathered at the state House of Assembly complex, Ikeja, on Wednesday.
The protesters had converged at the assembly complex to demand an end to forced evictions and the demolition of homes in communities across the state.
Wassap9ja observed that the release of tear gas triggered panic in the area, forcing protesters, residents, traders and commuters to flee in different directions to avoid being affected.
Wassap9ja gathered that the situation disrupted movement around the complex, as people scampered for safety amid the chaos.
As of the time of filing this report, security operatives were still present at the scene, while the protest had been temporarily dispersed.
More details shortly…
