On Tuesday, Police mounted barricades at the entry and exit points of the street where the Afrikan Shrine is located.

Apart from banning vehicles from using the road, other road users were equally banned.

The heavy presence of security agent’s around the reverred Afrikan Shrine was allegedly an attempt to forestall the #EndSARS campaigners from holding their meeting at the Shrine.

It was reported that some police officers are stationed at the entrance of Afrikan Shrine.

The government has vowed that it would not allow the second wave of #EndSARS protest.
