Human rights group Amnesty International said on Thursday that at least 13 people had been killed in protests in Nigeria, accusing security forces of killing peaceful protesters.
Conflicting accounts emerged on the number of deaths, a day after protesters took to the streets in cities across Nigeria to demonstrate against economic hardship.
In a statement on X on Friday, Amnesty International said six people were killed in Suleja near the capital Abuja, four in the northeastern city Maiduguri, and three in Kaduna in the northwest on Thursday. Police in Maiduguri said four people died in explosions, without providing details.
