Default Nigeria: President calls for Calm, after protesters had been shot



Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has appealed for "understanding and calm" after protests against police brutality in Lagos turned bloody on Tuesday, with eyewitnesses telling CNN that multiple demonstrators had been shot dead by Army soldiers, who then took the bodies away.

Following a night of violence which sparked global outrage, eyewitnesses say the city descended into chaos on Wednesday.
Videos posted on social media and local television coverage showed a number of buildings on fire, including the Lagos Theater and at least one bank branch. Some police stations were also attacked, and video also showed the High Court of Lagos on fire.

Human rights group Amnesty International said that after an on-the-ground investigation it had found that twelve people were killed during protests in two locations in Lagos on Tuesday.

It said that "evidence gathered from eyewitnesses, video footage and hospital reports" confirmed that over a period of about two hours "the Nigerian military opened fire on thousands of people who were peacefully calling for good governance and an end to police brutality."
