The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun has ordered an investigation into allegation of the Nigerian Police Force’s culpability in the deaths and arrests of protesters during the August End Bad Governance nationwide protest.
Amnesty had in a briefing published a few days ago, accused NPF of “using excessive force against protesters during the nationwide #Endbadgovernance demonstrations between 1-10 August, killing at least 24 people in the states of: Borno, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Jigawa and Niger.”
