During the shooting, some protesters reportedly died while others secured varying degrees of injuries.
The Punch gathered that those arrested on Saturday are Victoria Oniru, Tokunbo, Tunde Abass, Leon, Omolara Alagbala, and Adekunle.
It was learnt that the protesters had converged on Victoria Island when police officers from Maroko Police Station arrested them.
It was also learnt that the protesters were later transferred to Adeniji Adele Police Station before being detained at Panti.
In a statement, Eti-Osa Bar Forum Legal Aid Clinic and Situation Room for #OccupyLekki demanded the immediate release of the protesters.
The statement titled, ‘#120thDayMemorial: We demand the release of Victoria Oniru and others now’, was signed by the Chairman of the Forum, Oladotun Hassan; and Secretary, Ayo Ademiluyi.
It read in part, “We condemn in particular the role of Maroko Police Station, which have become notorious since the 20th day of October 2020 for police brutality and violation of fundamental human rights.
“We are also no less surprised that the Adeniji Adele Police Station, which is “formerly” the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad is still the custodial centre for the arrested Memorial Walkers. Indeed, the Special Anti-Robbery Squad is alive, well, and kicking.
“We hereby demand the immediate release of the Memorial Walkers and call on everyone to call the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Police Command, CP Hakeem Odumosu to demand their release.”
