Residents of Oworonshoki, Lagos State, on Monday staged a protest against the ongoing demolition in their community, taking their demonstration onto the Third Mainland Bridge.
The protest, which spilled outward from Lagos, caused a major traffic gridlock as demonstrators blocked sections of the expressway, leaving motorists stranded.
As of the time of filing this report, there has been no official response from the Lagos State government or security agencies regarding the incident.
A video circulating on X (formerly Twitter), shared by a verified user identified as Lagos Junction, shows protesters spread across the bridge, chanting and holding up traffic in defiance of the demolition exercise.
The situation has heightened tensions in the area, with commuters urging authorities to intervene swiftly to restore normal traffic flow.
