#EndSARS: Police arrest Lekki shooting survivor (VIDEO)

Jacob Desmond, a survivor of the Lekki Tollgate shooting on October 20, 2020, was reportedly arrested this morning during the #EndSARS memorial procession.

Jacob, a dispatch rider who joined other Nigerian youths who converged at the Lekki Tollgate on Thursday to mark the second anniversary of the incident, broke down in tears as he recounted how he was lucky to be alive as he was present when the shooting started two years ago.

A video serving the rounds showed Jacob on his knee as he recounted the October 20, 2020 incident.

As he spoke with journalists, two policemen arrived and asked him to follow them.

However, a Twitter user, who shared the video online said Jacob was arrested by the police officers.

“This is Jacob Desmond, a Dispatch rider who was just driving past the Lekki tollgate, when the memories of #LekkiMassacre struck. He stopped, remembered & cried, how he would have been amongst the dead, if not for God He was arrested by the police even while crying. #EndSARS”, he wrote.
