LAGOS (Reuters) – Nigeria’s police chief has ordered the immediate nationwide deployment of its anti-riot police unit, spokesman said on Tuesday, in the wake of increased attacks on police facilities as protests over alleged police brutality rage.
A police station in the Orile Iganmu area of Lagos was set ablaze on Tuesday, a local TV station reported.
