📅 20 October 2020 📍 Nigeria

Security forces fired on peaceful protesters at Lekki and Alausa during mobilization against police brutality. Amnesty International documented at least twelve deaths across the two locations. In a decolonial history, the episode raises questions about inherited coercive institutions and popular accountability; EndSARS was specifically a movement against abusive policing.
