Police have been firing shots in the air to disperse protesters and residents in different neighbourhoods of Nigeria’s main city Lagos.
They are now in control of Lekki toll gate, with the protesters forced to leave.
In some streets pedestrians have been asked to raise their arms while walking past security men.
There are also reports of hoodlums attacking and setting ablaze a private media station, which is accused of supporting the government, in the Lagos mainland.
