A young man identified as Demola on Twitter surprised protesters during the #EndSARS at Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos by proposing to the love of his life in the heat of the protests.

The dramatic act lightened up the mood of protesters as some were seen smiling, others taking pictures of them with their phones while his friends cheered.

He took to his Twitter handle to announce the acceptance of his proposal by his girlfriend in a post which has since gone viral with over 6k retweets and over 10k likes at the time of writing this post.

Twitter users reacted to the post by tagging it as a necessary humour in the heat of the protest, others dismissed it as a stunt and some others tapping into his success story.
