Nigerian security forces fired bullets and teargas at protesters and journalists, leading to injuries, arrests, and accusations of misgovernment and corruption.
At least 50 journalists were arrested, 700 protesters detained, and nine officers injured during the protests against Nigeria's economic crisis.
Protesters were dispersed by teargas before hooded operatives believed to be from the Nigerian secret service arrived, leading to further violence against journalists.
Nigeria's demonstrations highlight deep economic inequalities, with public officials well-paid amidst a population struggling with poverty despite the nation's oil wealth.
