Police were on high alert on Friday in Nigeria, a day after clashes broke out between protesters and police forces in some cities in Nigeria.
At least 13 people have been reported killed in the cost-of-living protests, according to human rights group Amnesty International.
“Our findings, so far, show that security personnel at the locations where lives were lost deliberately used tactics designed to kill while dealing with gatherings of people protesting hunger and deep poverty,” the rights group wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
