The Protest (Occupy Nigeria) kicked off in most Nigerian States which has led to a strike by the Nigerian Labour Congress. Almost all (if not all) shops, banks, commercial offices are closed down due to the strike.
Clash of police and Protesters in Kano State (Nigeria) turns violence on Monday, 9th of January, 2011. The protest led to shootings from the police against the nationwide rally.
Here's a quote from a Red Cross official:
“We now have 14 casualties.
Seven of them have
gunshot wounds while the rest sustained
injuries from beating and falling down in the
confusion.”
Reports from residents was that there were more people injured which have been taken to other hospitals apart from the Red Cross ambulance.
