On October 20, 2020, security operatives reportedly fired live rounds into a crowd of unarmed young persons who had converged on the tollgate to protest decades of police brutality.

The death toll from the incident remains a subject of controversy, three years after the incident.

On Friday, a large team of police officers attached to the Lagos police command were at the Lekki tollgate to forestall a breakdown of law and order.
