Amnesty International has revealed that at least 24 people lost their lives during the #EndBadGovernance protests in Nigeria, which spanned 10 days from August 1.

The protests, driven by widespread economic hardship, escalated into violence in various regions. Security forces reportedly used excessive force, including live ammunition and tear gas, to disperse protesters and journalists. Looting and vandalism were also reported in parts of the country, particularly in northern states.
