More than a dozen people have died in Nigeria in clashes with police during nationwide protests over the country’s skyrocketing cost of living and President Bola Tinubu’s decision to end a popular fuel subsidy.
Three states have imposed curfews in an attempt to curb the protests, and police have responded with force, throwing tear gas at demonstrators.
Nigeria’s protests follow a similar youth-led movement in Kenya, where demonstrators prompted the government to backtrack on a raft of financial measures.
