Several protesters were killed by Nigerian security forces in Lagos on Tuesday, Amnesty International said after witnesses reported armed men opened fire on demonstrators defying a curfew order.

“I rushed two people already to hospital. One was shot at the back, and one was shot at the stomach.” . Lagos state governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu ordered the round-the-clock shutdown in the sprawling economic hub on Tuesday, claiming the protests had “degenerated into a monster” as violence flared in a string of cities.

Witnesses told AFP that a police station was set ablaze in the Orile Iganmu district of Lagos on Tuesday morning. They said police opened fire on protesters, wounding several.

What’s with the invited comas?

Dont even piss me off. Youre already disrespecting the dead by 'kill'? Didn't we all see videos? Kill is kill. EndSARS BuhariResignNow BuhariMurderer EndPoliceBrutalityinNigera

Shey o sere Security forces bi bawo. You better you call their name before thunder strike all of una there. Ode, to cover news na problem for u. Security forces my left ass.

Nigerian Soldiers massacred us cold blooded after raising our flag and singing the Nigeria anthem. You are here reporting rubbish.

I wonder why the kill is in quotes 😐

Guardian respect yourself and follow your name as a guardian. What is 'kill'? Kill is kill ode.

Get your facts right, they started killing before the curfew. Even if they didn't, should the punishment for ignoring the curfew be death? Do you kill disobedient children?

So this is the best way you can report the whole scenario, anybody behind this headline will die after curfew has been imposed...

What will happen to you if you mention Nigerian Soldiers, Wtf is Nigerian security force Are y'all deluded
