No fewer than 13 protesters have been killed during the #EndBadGovernance protests in Nigeria, according to Amnesty International.



Amnesty International Nigeria in a post on its X (formerly Twitter) handle on Friday, condemned “the killing of peaceful protesters by security personnel across the country, noting that 13 people had been killed in the 10-day protests that kicked off on Thursday.



It said six people were killed in Suleja in Niger State, four in Maiduguri in Borno State and three Kaduna State.



Newsmen had reported that on Thursday, the first day of the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protests, at least 12 journalists and media professionals fell victim to police brutality or attacks by hoodlums reportedly sponsored by the government.


It said, “The Nigerian authorities must investigate these incidents and ensure that security personnel suspected of responsibility for deadly use of force are held to account through fair trial. Violent crackdown on peaceful protesters is unjustified and unacceptable. 


“Our findings, so far, show that security personnel at the locations where lives were lost deliberately used tactics designed to kill while dealing with gatherings of people protesting hunger and deep poverty.



“Nigerian security agencies’ unlawful attitude of using firearms as tactical tool for the management of protests must end.”



As reported by SaharaReporters, the nationwide demonstrations kicked off in major cities across Nigeria, marking the beginning of a 10-day protest scheduled for August.



The protests aim to condemn the hardships and challenges exacerbated by President Bola Tinubu's administration, with citizens taking to the streets to express their discontent.



Thousands of Nigerians took to the streets on Thursday morning, joining a nationwide protest that swept across major cities and the Federal Capital Territory. Protesters, armed with placards and banners, decried the country's worsening conditions, including economic hardship, soaring inflation, poor governance, and rampant insecurity.
