Just hours after curfew came into effect the Security Forces started moving. I believe he told gate in lagos several different witness. This recorded footage of what appeared to be security personnel shooting at protesters who are blocking a major highway a number of people want to put it killed. It began as peaceful protest to demand an end to Police Brutality. And for 2 weeks the government struggled but failed to come protest as their demands among others include far reaching reforms of the police on the prosecution of officers accused of extra judicial killings torture and disappearances not care is going through it says we have been protest in we have not had any reasonable results which is what we want out why are we to come and address it not by me but you know its all user conduct Network Admin im not really listening to his does he wasnt on any. Time you crying every day so not the guy yeah yeah i voice i dont buy that i dont want to know i said roy but yes i believe these well ive been going through yet. And senior lawmakers are lining up behind some of the protesters demands i will not sign off. On the 2021 budget that does not does not include full visions to compensate those who have suffered the lives im fertility other than sort of police in nigeria in the last decade which means the countrys 2021 budget could be delayed on monday in protest as blockaded move to the Mohammed International airport Lagos Nigeria is busiest. The same day these images appeared of prisoners among them violent criminals escaping went to prison. Or typed. The prison or thought you say nearly 2000 prisoners have escaped more warring is the looting of the armory in the correction facility here in nearly 2 dozen cause one destroyed already states have started enforcing 24 hour confused among them the Financial Capital lagos which is also home to the countrys busiest ports. This could mean more trouble for coming already in a poor shape. The president of the senate has asked the president to address the nation to calm the situation but its not clear if that will be enough to placate the protesters. Lets go live now to a man who joins us from. The morning after with lagos still in that 24 hour lockdown of millions of people across the country and curfew whats the situation. Well there were reporters skirmishes some scattered incidents in lagos basically i think between Security Forces and some protestors or residents of lagos for most part of lagos things seem to be calm for now although like i said earlier there were some reported incidents in lagos or one idea of course chaotic. Incidents have happened since the initial shooting at laiki tollgate however. Quitely return commonly returning to normal now in lagos state here in a buddha although there is no curfew but you sense that feeling of people wanted to stay at home so most of the streets are a bit thinner than i usually ahd this hour of the day in ocean state in on though things a bit calmer some states of already imposed curfews 24 hour curfew so far we have about 4 or 5 states and from the look of things some most states in nigeria are going to impose curfews if not for at least for longer duration of the day the fear is that these protests may spread already they have already spread to many parts of the country or in most parts of the country but the main fear is that they could go violent ok what are we to make of the denial of involvement in the deaths of protests yesterday by Security Forces despite the fact that pictures have emerged showing men firing at protesters. While the military said its for. Its forces or troops are not involved in the shooting are what we see is that there are pictures of men in uniform in this country for example its a crime to wear a comb of life and some of these people who are seen with. With with guns or firing at protesters were in fact wary Security Forces uniforms so its hard to believe that some of them at least not members of the forces. Some of the protesters when you talk to them they tell you that. A few hours before the shooting there was directives that policemen should be on the streets days before the curfew in lagos we also heard from the military saying that they are going to conduct military exercises although they insisted it has nothing to do with the ongoing protests the military has issued a statement that its forces were not involved in the yesterdays approaches but protesters incensed that they were Security Forces involved police and military or paramilitary organizations apart from that weve also seen how some new teams went on in places like lagos we also saw how some police as stablish menzel Police Institutions are those have been attacked some have been destroyed some of been burnt at customs point for example mia at the border weve seen how protesters raided that post and carted away seized contraband goods that include rice so talk to the protesters on the streets of nigeria they will insist that they are not violent but they insist that the Security Forces and vote in the latest killings and make those are serious of address reporting live from the budget of the penny thanks indeed. At least 12 women have been killed in a stampede in afghanistan they gathered with thousands of other people in a stadium in jalalabad to apply for visas to pakistan the pakistani consulate started to issue visas again last week after a 7 month course because of the coronavirus pandemic lets go live to kabul and philly account for you can hopefully get to the small what more do we know about what was happening why were these people gathered at a stadium for visas.
