Soldiers have invaded the Lekki toll gate where thousands of protesters have been demonstrating against police brutality for the past 13 days.
A Lekki resident told TheCable that she started hearing gunshots around 7pm.
The protesters have refused to leave the toll gate despite the 24-hour curfew imposed by the state government.
There are reports that some of the protesters have been shot dead but TheCable cannot independently verify the claim.
