– A round-the-clock curfew has been imposed in Lagos, Nigeria, in response to two weeks of protests that have left at least 15 people dead, Reuters reports. The state’s governor announced the curfew Tuesday, saying it will apply to all parts of the state. “I have watched with shock how what began as a peaceful #EndSARS protest has degenerated into a monster that is threatening the wellbeing of our society,” the Guardian quotes Babajide Sanwo-Olu as saying. Protests began Oct. 11 after a video allegedly showed Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) officers killing a man in Delta state. Police denied the incident, and disbanded SARS on Oct. 11. Thousands of Nigerians demanding an end to alleged police brutality have taken to the streets every day for nearly two weeks across the country. Amnesty International says at least 15 people have been killed since the protests began. The national police chief also ordered the immediate deployment of anti-riot forces following increased attacks on police facilities.
