Similarly, protesters at the Lekki tollgate in Lagos were dispersed using tear gas canisters. These actions sparked outrage and widespread reactions on social media. On August 1, 2024, Iyabo Ojo took to Instagram to condemn the violence. In her posts, she called on President Tinubu and the police to respect the rights of protesters and allow them to demonstrate peacefully. She wrote, “Why are they throwing teargas? @nigeriapoliceforce #peacefulprotest is their right.”
