Amnesty International and other outlets are reporting that a number of protesters have been killed or injured in the Nigerian city of Lagos on Tuesday. Amnesty International also said it had received “credible but disturbing evidence” of protestor deaths. However, Lagos state Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu said there has been one fatality and about 25 people had been wounded in what he described as an “unfortunate shooting incident”. The ongoing demonstrations, which have been taking place for more than two weeks, began with a call to end the recently-dissolved Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), which the government has pledged to investigate for brutality and human rights violations.
Nigeria had extended curfews beyond the city of Lagos as anti-riot officers struggle to quell violence following protests against police brutality.
A number of people are reported to have been shot at a protest in Lekki, a suburb of the city.
A 24-hour curfew planned for Lagos, a key commercial hub and Africa's most populous city with an estimated 20 million residents, was delayed to allow commuters to return home.
Other regions are now imposing curfews.
Following reports of widespread violence across Nigeria, the city of Jos and Ekiti state said curfews would come into force later on Tuesday.
The southern Edo state imposed a curfew earlier, after officials said two police stations had been targeted, with attackers burning cars and stealing police equipment.
The protests began with calls for a much-hated police unit, the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (Sars), to be disbanded.
President Muhammadu Buhari did then dissolve the unit, which has been accused of illegal detentions, assaults and shootings, on 11 October.
But the demonstrators have called for more changes in the security forces as well as reforms to the way the country is run.
Lagos state Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has said that criminals have hijacked the protests "to unleash mayhem".
