The police’s claim over non-use of ammunition on protesters took a new dimension, on Wednesday, when the Nigerian Army confirmed that one of its men killed a teenager in Zaria, Kaduna State.
The #EndBadGovernance protest, which started on a peaceful note later degenerated into violence in different parts of the country.
The first reported incident of killing was in Suleja, Niger State, where at least six protesters were allegedly shot by security operatives trying to restore order.
Next was in Kubwa, Abuja, where a teenager was reportedly gunned down by a policeman.
Similar killings were recorded in Kaduna, Kano, Jigawa, Borno, Katsina, among others.
But despite multiple videos of extrajudicial killings, the police denied each and all of them.
Amnesty International had condemned the use of lethal force against protesters.
