In Nigeria security forces enforcing the lockdown in parts of Nigeria have killed more people than coronavirus itself.
This report won't come to many Nigerians as much of a surprise. Nigeria's police have a bad reputation for brutality, extortion and harassment. What is more interesting is however, the fact that the latest damning report did not first come from their usual fierce critics like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International. Instead it came from a Nigerian government agency.
