U.S. Embassy shuts operation as security forces escalate killing of #EndSARS protesters
The U.S. Embassy in Nigeria has shut down operation and issued an advisory to all personnel across the country.
The development comes as Nigerian security forces are being caught on camera unleashing violence on protesters in Lagos and Abuja.
At least 10 people have been killed across the country on Tuesday alone, after armed thugs and soldiers unleashed mayhem.
The U.S. Embassy said its offices across the country would be shut for at least two days to enable an adequate monitoring of the situation.
