Shops were shuttered and streets empty Thursday as Nigeria's largest city Lagos was locked down under curfew after unrest flared following the shooting of protesters.

Protesters chant and sing solidarity songs as they barricade barricade the Lagos-Ibadan expressway to protest against police brutality and the killing of protesters by the military, at Magboro, Ogun State, on October 21, 2020. – Buildings in Nigeria’s main city of Lagos were torched on October 21, 2020 and sporadic clashes erupted after the shooting of peaceful protesters in which Amnesty International said security forces had killed several people.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo said his “heart goes out” to the victims of the shooting as well as policemen and others who have lost their lives in several days of turmoil in Africa’s most populous country. “I cannot say who is involved in the shooting… definitely not the police. Soldiers have already spoken about this, they are denying their involvement,” he said.Pictures and videos from the attack were widely shared on social media, unleashing a wave of anger at the authorities.

Demonstrations erupted in Nigeria on October 8 over brutality by the police’s loathed Special Anti-Robbery Squad . The African Union on Thursday strongly condemned the violence and called on all parties to “privilege dialogue”.
