Day 3 #EndBadGovernanceProtest: Police Shot, Killed Protesting Children at Close Range in Kano

Human rights organisation, Amnesty International, has alleged that Nigerian police in Kano recklessly shot at close range and killed protesters including children in the ongoing nationwide hunger protest.

In a statement on Sunday, Amnesty International said the police killed 10 protesters in Kano.

The organisation urged the Nigerian authorities to effectively and impartially investigate the killing of at least 10 peaceful hunger protesters by the police at some locations in Kano — including Kurna and Kofar Nasarawa.

“Some of those killed were children chanting “peace,” the human rights organisation said.

Contacted on Sunday, the Force spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, neither picked calls made to his mobile nor replied to text and WhatsApp messages sent as of the time this report was filed
