The Nigeria police on Saturday shot at over 2000 people in Maiduguri
who were protesting negligence and the federal government’s failure
to tackle Boko Haram militants.
The demonstrators comprised some lucky residents of Gwoza town in
the southern part of Borno State who had escaped when the militants
captured their town from Nigeria troops. Fleeing to Maiduguri, they
took their protest to the streets with various placards, some of them
proclaiming that Nigerian troops had failed to regain Gwoza from the
terrorist group.
The protesters were heading towards Government House when a police
officer shot one of them in the head. When the victim fell, a commotion
ensured which took soldiers deployed to the scene an hour before they
could restore normalcy.'
