Among those affected were the African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate in Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, and the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) governorship candidate, Funso Doherty.
The memorial was organised by the Enough is Enough movement as part of activities to commemorate those who lost their lives during the #EndSARS protests.
However, the gathering was disrupted before participants could lay wreaths at the tollgate, as police officers deployed to the venue fired teargas canisters to disperse the crowd.
A video shared by TheCable showed participants scrambling for safety as the teargas spread across the area.
The incident prevented the planned wreath-laying ceremony from proceeding, disrupting the event organised to honour the victims of the protests.
