Nigeria Police fire shots at peaceful protesters in Lagos

Dozens of armed police officers have attempted to disperse a crowd protesting the abduction of secondary school girls in Chibok, Borno state.
Gunshots were fired by the officers in an attempt to break the protest but the protesters stood their ground.
Some of those who heard the shots first thought it was teargas, but our reporter and other witnesses who arrived the scene shortly after the shots were fired did not notice any fume to indicate it was teargas.

Details of the Lagos protest later…
