Unrest in Nigeria as anger over shooting grows

Abuja, Oct 23 : Gunfire has erupted and jailbreaks have been reported in Nigeria, as unrest over the shooting of protesters in the country’s biggest city Lagos continues.
Rights group Amnesty International has said security forces killed at least 12 people in Lagos on Tuesday, the BBC reported.
Nigeria’s army has denied killing demonstrators in the Lekki area, provoking more anger.
The protests began about two weeks ago with mostly young people demanding the disbandment of a notorious police unit.
The Special Anti-Robbery Squad (Sars), which had been at the centre of protests against police brutality, was dissolved on October 11.
Using the hashtag #EndSars, protesters rallied crowds to the streets.
