1:51Now PlayingShots were fired in Lagos Wednesday as protesters continued to demonstrate against police brutality in Nigeria.
Demonstrators gathered at Lekki Toll Gate, where Amnesty International said late Tuesday there was “credible but disturbing evidence” that security forces had fatally shot protesters who were demonstrating against police brutality despite a new curfew being imposed.
The demonstrations are part of wider protests taking place across Nigeria, under the banner #EndSARS.
In response, the government announced it would ban the anti-robbery squad, which for several years human rights groups have blamed for widespread abuses, including torture and killings.
The demonstrators have not been satisfied with the disbandment of the SARS unit and are demanding an end to abuses and respect for human rights in all parts of the police force.
