Hello thanks for joining us we begin in nigeria thats where protests are already turning violent despite a 24 hour curfew it follows an appeal for calm by president mohamed hari after several demonstrators were shot the day before during a rally against Police Brutality. These are some of the scenes from wednesday morning as these crowds gathered at times with Security Forces allegedly firing at them and in another part of the city a large fire burning through a government bus station. Videos are emerging of man in uniform opening fire on killing people in lagos on tuesday but Security Forces deny involvement lets get an update from my didnt see joining us from a boozer nigerias president has appealed for calm and understanding as to what are you hearing about how his words are being received. I think very in the most the protesters asking for is for the president to address the nation this same demand was echoed by the president of the senate yesterday or been that that could come situation down however what were seeing in lagos is reflected in other parts of the country although on a much slower know what scale lagos has been the epicenter of these protests and so far the protesters saying they havent heard from the president and that is no indication that the government is going to meet all their demands but what are their demands that demands its to disband has been done but few days after the police came up with another Organization Course what they want justice for victims of these Police Brutality over the past 10 years that hasnt been done yet although the police said they are debriefing officers of the former unit and are conducting investigations but they need to set up bottles to investigate this protest on this and on the other hand want immediate prosecution they want compensation which has not been paid people are demanding that victims and their families be compensated this much was said by the speaker of the lower chambers of Parliament Yesterday saying that he will not sign on to the budget unless compensation is put inside the 23 to one budget now what we are seeing in lagos today is a cumulative cumulative effect. Of all these years of Police Brutality and government in action to deal with that the government has promised to disband all the foam sauce but it has failed to do so on 3 occasions until just a week or 2 ago now what were seeing in lagos today. This morning is of course i do result in effect of exactly what happened yesterday there are problems with the statistics government is saying that government officials in lagos are saying that no one died but protesters are insisting that dozens of been killed in yesterdays incident. Just hours after curfew came into effect the Security Forces started moving. At the lake he told gate in lagos several different witnesses 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 has their demands among others include far reaching reforms of the police and the prosecution of officers accused of extrajudicial killings torture and disappearances not guys going through things we have been protest into have not had any reasonable results so we want. To come and address it not by me but you know. Im really listening to. Was done. Every day so yeah yeah i go you know why didnt they do it and i said well you know i believe these well im going to do. And lawmakers are lining up behind some of the protesters demands i will not sign off. On the 2021 budget that does not include. To compensate those who have suffered by the lives. Of other council the 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 mohamad International Airport Lagos Nigeria is busiest. The same day these images appeared of prisoners among them violent criminals escaping went to prison. Or tight. The prison Authorities Say nearly 2000 prisoners have escaped being is the looting of the armory in the correction facility. Nearly 2 dozen cause 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 coming in 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 keep the protesters. So in a high despite that 24 hour curfew being in place in lagos are expecting protesters to be coming out today as well. Exactly and this is exactly what we see on the streets from that you make yes were seeing on online and from what were hearing from australias and other colleagues in the field in lagos protesters are still out on the streets in one area of lagos state for example its not the protest but of course criminals taking part unity of the sad events unfolding there to new property we heard about properties being damaged in. Yesterdays most violent incident took place and we also see incidents across town in able to matter where you just saw 30 buses. By the lagos State Government to be set on fire weve also heard about residents of. Government officials or their relations being set on fire by arsonists in lagos so we expect to see more of these before things gradually come down in lagos in other parts of nigeria we expect protesters certain areas to come out where the law or the governors have not imposed curfew so far it would have been quite so far but you never can tell its possible that we may see demonstrators back on the streets of all this big bang on the street by going to the structures on the streets since last week however the protesters say nor in that ok i did that is thank you very much for that update from. At least 25. 00 afghan Security Forces personnel have been killed and another 5 wounded in attacks by the taliban thats according to the Afghan Government 115. 00 taliban fighters were also killed in the Northern Province of takar the taliban has intensified attacks in the last few weeks as peace talks with the Afghan Government are being held in doha.
