#EndSARS protesters at the Lekki ground on Tuesday evening were under heavy gunfire from security operatives.
Gunshots rented the air late Tuesday evening hours after the expiration of a 24-hour curfew declared by the Lagos state government.
There are reported cases of causalities from the attack.
The shooting started a few minutes after the light in the plaza went off and CCTV cameras were removed.
Eyewitnesses claimed that they saw the security operatives loading bodies into their vans.
Voices in viral footage accused soldiers of the sporadic shootings on unarmed protesters.

The governor of the state, Babajide Sanwo-Olu had earlier announced a 24-hour curfew, starting from 4:00PM on Tuesday, but he later shifted the start time to 9:00PM.
Apparently, the change of time has not helped the ongoing situation.
Security agents move into Lekki at about 6:30 pm.
The light of the general protest ground was turned off.
Earlier, security cameras were removed. Photographs of the removal were seen on the internet.
