Amnesty International has accused Nigerian police of killing at least 24 people during the #EndBadGovernance protests, held from August 1 to 10 over Nigeria’s worsening economic conditions.

The victims, including 20 young adults, two children, and an elderly person, were reportedly shot at close range, with many sustaining fatal injuries to the head or torso. Amnesty called the actions deliberate and accused authorities of covering up the incidents.

Protests in Kano, Katsina, Jigawa, and other states turned violent when police used live ammunition and tear gas. Kano recorded 12 deaths, while Jigawa and Niger reported three each. Over 1,200 protesters, including minors, were detained, with reports of torture among detainees.

Despite evidence, authorities denied involvement, blaming “unknown gunmen” or dismissing reports as “fake news.” Amnesty has called for President Bola Tinubu to investigate and ensure accountability for the violence.
