The Lagos State Police Command has listed buildings and properties destroyed and burnt down by hoodlums disguised as #EndSARS protesters in Lagos.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the civil unrest, which started 12 days ago, escalated in Lagos State and have left a trail of burnt buildings, smashed windows, and looted stores even across the States.

The mayhem escalated two days ago after the shooting at Lekki toll gate by soldiers, which led to casualties and the angry youths went on rampage in Lagos State destroying both public and private properties.
