Lagos State Withdraws Case Against #OccupyLekkiTollGate Protesters

The Lagos State Government has struck out charges brought against ace comedian Debo Adebayo, popularly known as Mr Macaroni and 39 other  #EndSARS and #OccupyLekkiTollGate protesters who came out to protest on the 13th of February.

Belongings of the protesters seized by law enforcement agents during their arrest are to be returned.

This was stated in a tweet by @citizen_gavel, a company of over 160 lawyers that has been at the fore of the fight against injustice.
“The Attorney General of Lagos State has sent a directive to withdraw all charges against the Defendants, all Prostesters’ belongings seized by the Police/ its Agents or privy are equally ordered to be returned to them.
“Case has been struck out,” the tweet read.
