The protesters at Admiralty Way, Lekki, Lagos on Friday, February 9


Protesters on Friday morning gathered at the Lekki Phase one roundabout to kick against the Lekki toll gate tariff increase while some hoodlums hijacked the protest, attacking journalists.

The hike which came into effect on February 1, 2018, has seen road users pay more than they paid previously.
The protesters converged on Admiralty Way, Lekki, around 9:00 am which is two hours behind the 7:00 am schedule.
Amidst heavy security, the protesters were seen displaying placards and chanting songs demanding a reversal of the increment.

Tagged Occupy Lekki Toll Gate, the protest, however, turned violent as a group of young men started attacking people shouting “stop protesting,” “pull down the banner.”
The young men, who are suspected to be hoodlums hijacked the protest as they attacked some journalists including Channels Television cameraman whose camera was damaged in the process.
The Lekki Concession Company Limited (LCC) had reviewed the fares last week, attributing the development to “current business realities and increasing the cost of operation”.
Some police officers, however, weighed in and arrested the hoodlums.
They were taken away in the van popularly called “Black Maria”.

It had a black facial mask and partially white tail feathers, but the colouration of the body, wings and head is unclear. Descriptions from life indicate the body and head were ash grey, and the white part of the tail had two dark central feathers. In contrast, descriptions based on stuffed specimens state that the body was brown and the head bluish but do not mention the dark central tail feathers. This may be due to the specimens having changed colour as a result of aging and exposure to light, as well as other forms of damage. Very little is known about the bird in life. The Mascarene parrot was first mentioned in 1674, and live specimens were later brought to Europe, where they lived in captivity . The species was scientifically described in 1771. Only two stuffed specimens exist today, in Paris and Vienn...
