Amnesty International says 21 killed in Nigeria hardship protests

Amnesty International has accused Nigerian security forces of killing at least 21 protesters during a week of economic hardship rallies, the national head of the rights group told AFP on Wednesday.

Raising an earlier toll of 13, Isa Sanusi said Amnesty had verified seven further killings in Kano and one in Azare, in northeastern Bauchi state. Police and the military have denied responsibility for deaths during the protests.
