Policemen and soldiers out to enforce a 24 hour curfew at Lekki Toll Gate shot at #EndSARS protesters Tuesday night.
The shooting led to the dispersal of the protesters, who had remained at the Plaza, hours after the curfew went into force.
Staccato of gunshots can also be heard from a video, as the protesters ran for their lives.
The armed men reportedly switched off the light at the toll gate and opened fire at the protesters.
The shooting comes shortly after Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu announced an extension on the curfew time he had earlier imposed from 4pm to 9pm.
It is not known if there were casualties at the time of this report.
