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.
"People were killed at the (Lekki) tollgate by security forces," Amnesty's Nigeria spokesman Isa Sanusi told AFP, in reference to a key protest site in the city.

He said the rights group was "working on verifying how many".

This SARS gang of police are really something to behold going by videos posted on various social media. They're operating like some kind of judge Dredds. Nigeria has disbanded I wonder why the protests continue unless Nigerians don't believe the disbandment or are unhappy that the members just got moved to other police units.
