| 1360489327214608385 | Police are clamping down heavily on the few protesters that turned up. We saw some beaten with sticks and their posters confiscated. One young man who said he was an observer was taken away in a Black Maria. #Lekkitollgate | 9469 |
| 1360508286219538433 | Many of the people say they don’t know why they are being arrested. Some say they are passersby. None of the police can tell us why they are being arrested and what the grounds are for arrest. #Lekkitollgate https://t.co/CXgGuCv3bH | 7174 |
| 1360501946575167491 | Damilola Adelare turned 24 yesterday. He said he came to stand in solidarity with fellow young Nigerians. #Lekkitollgate https://t.co/1pkMa7TCEC | 7073 |
| 1360495210338344963 | More arrests of suspected protesters who are taken into the Black Maria, which has now been moved away from where the media is gathered. We managed to speak to a young man Damilola Adelare, 24, who said “he was exercising his human right to protest.” | 4824 |
| 1654818885995057154 | Now this is how you represent Naija style. This Aunty ate and left no crumbs 😀 #KingCharlesCoronation https://t.co/Hvx28oa4dy | 4555 |
| 1360530462473601026 | More police have turned up in riot gear. There are zero protesters at the #Lekkitollgate. https://t.co/8LuYPRm648 | 4450 |
| 1637033949707874304 | Standoff at VGC where @inecnigeria has changed their polling unit overnight. Around 6000 residents are waiting to vote in their assigned station inside. But INEC officials are waiting outside. Now EFCC are here. https://t.co/csrkUKhoMh | 3850 |
| 1355903814302388225 | The doctor at Granville Hospital I spoke to for CNN's November report said he treated 15 people for gunshot wounds on the 20th, including a man who had to have his leg amputated. Yet the army says they were shooting in the air and not at protesters. It is unconscionable. https://t.co/p7Ae6jULyA | 3090 |
| 1360920313161281539 | One of the strange things about the arrests at the #Lekkitollgate yesterday was that people were being rounded up before anything actually happened, no chanting, no banners, nothing. In this video, I asked one @NigeriaPolice officer what criteria for arrest was. He didn’t know. https://t.co/FyB386yIx2 | 2766 |
| 1360474337808175106 | Current situation. Lekki toll gate. More police than protesters. #EndSARS https://t.co/hXWGHQ6T0B | 2751 |

| 1570686165212340224 | Delighted to announce that I have been promoted to CNN's Senior Editor for Africa. It's been 6 years living in Lagos, creating a new bureau, editing, and creating impactful content. Looking forward to doing much more and changing the African narrative along the way... | 22980 |

| 1460492840304365568 | I'm receiving many lovely messages on my reporting on End SARS. I thank you all. I faced so much abuse and it did take a toll on my mental health at times but fact-based journalism is important now more than ever. We chronicle for posterity so people NEVER FORGET. #Lekkitollgate | 3907 |
