The young man was heard saying: “I did not do anything. They beat me, they collected my phone, they took my money; the police have not learnt their lessons.”
Shortly after they were arrested, both men were taken into a waiting truck of the Lagos State Task Force, after which the vehicle zoomed off.
While the police are stationed at the tollgate for security purposes, officials of the Lagos Neighbourhood Safety Corps (LNSC) are maintaining a free flow of traffic.
Falz, Mr Macaron, and other Nigerian celebrities joined the protesters in the road procession while waving flags at journalists and security operatives at the tollgate.
