by from World news | The Guardian on (#59A25)
Protesters have vowed to continue demonstrating across Nigeria as the country's most populated city, Lagos, was put under a 24-hour lockdown on Tuesday.
Police have continued to clash with demonstrators protesting against the notorious Sars police unit, now dissolved but long-accused of extra-judicial killings, torture and extortion.
The government has adopted measures including judicial panels to investigate abuses and compensation for victims, and officials have called for protesters to suspend the demonstrations to give the government time to make good on its pledges
