EndSARSProtest: Police arrest protesters at Lekki tollgate

Operatives of the Lagos State Police Command have arrested two protesters at the Lekki tollgate where the #EndSARS Memorial Protest is scheduled to hold in the state today.

One of those arrested claimed to be a journalist while the other was seen carrying a placard.

The police had reportedly warned that anyone seen at the tollgate without an ID card will be arrested.

The arrested journalist told newsmen that he works with LegitTV and that his phone, driver’s license, and other documents were taken away from him.

Speaking from a Lagos State Task Force van where he was kept by the police, the journalist who identified himself as Abisola stated that he lost his ID card in transit.

About 30 police trucks and armed personnel are currently at the tollgate to enforce a ban on protests issued by the police command.

Re

A car procession in honour of those believed to have lost their lives at the tollgate when soldiers dispersed #EndSARS protesters on October 20, 2020, is scheduled to hold at the tollgate today.

What #EndSARS protests were about
The #EndSARS protests which were held in October 2020 were against the activities of the now-disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad, a unit of the Nigeria Police Force which was accused of police brutality.

The epicentre of the protests was the Lekki tollgate in Lagos where many youths gathered day and night to air their grievances against police brutality and bad governance.

They were dispersed from the location by gun-wielding soldiers on October 20, 2020, an action which some quarters believe led to the loss of lives.

This was followed by the destruction of private and public properties by hoodlums in Lagos, an incident that informed the latest warning issued by the police in the state.

‘I Cry Because of the Burdens People Carry’ – Pastor Jerry Eze Opens Up on Emotional Prayer Sessions

Renowned Nigerian televangelist and founder of Streams of Joy International, Pastor Jerry Eze, has revealed the deep emotional weight behind his tearful prayer sessions, sparking conversations among his followers.

Speaking during an interview to mark the fifth anniversary of his popular online prayer platform, NSPPD (New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations), Pastor Eze explained that his tears are not mere theatrics but a reflection of his overwhelming compassion for the countless people who seek divine intervention.

“The Bible says we do not have a high priest who cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities,” he stated. “I have always known myself to be a very compassionate person, and coming into ministry, I realized that compassion is an inevitable tool for the miraculous.”

According to him, his inbox is flooded daily with heartbreaking messages from people facing unimaginable hardships, making it impossible for him to remain indifferent. He recounted a particularly devastating story: “How do you make this kind of prayer? You see a woman who lost her husband, tried to remarry, lost the second one, and after everything, tried to marry a third time only to lose him too. How do you not feel that?”

Pastor Jerry Eze’s tearful prayers have become a signature aspect of his ministry, drawing millions to his online services. His explanation has further solidified his reputation as a pastor deeply moved by the struggles of his congregation, with many testifying to miraculous turnarounds after his intercessions.

While some critics have questioned his emotional displays, his followers see them as a sign of genuine empathy and spiritual burden. As NSPPD continues to grow globally, Pastor Eze remains committed to his calling, declaring, “What God cannot do does not exist!”

Governor Monday Okpebholo aide condemn killing in Uromi…..

No amount of pressure, frustration, or disagreement should ever justify the taking of another person’s life. Life is sacred, and the act of unlawfully ending someone else’s existence goes against the fundamental principles of justice, morality, and human dignity.

With that being said, the tragic incident that occurred yesterday in Uromi, the administrative headquarters of Esan North East where about eight person of the Hausa community where allegedly identified to be kidnappers beaten and burnt alive, is deeply condemnable. It is disheartening to witness such acts of violence within the uromi community, where peace and unity should be the guiding principles. The behavior exhibited during this unfortunate event was not only unnecessary but also unacceptable, as it disregarded the values of justice and respect for human life.

In times like this, we must remind ourselves that violence only leads to pain, loss, and division. As a people, we must strive for peaceful resolutions to any issues that may arise from our community and uphold the virtues of patience, understanding, and dialogue. No grievance, no matter how severe, should push anyone to commit such a grievous act.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family and loved ones of the departed. May their soul rest in eternal peace. Amen.

May God heal the land, restore peace, and guide us towards a society built on love, justice, and mutual respect.

Daniel Eromosele Aka Pikolo,
Chief Protocol,
Edo State Government.
