Police fire tear gas at #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protesters in Kano

Nigerian police fired tear gas on Thursday to break up several hundred protesters rallying against the cost of living in the northern city of Kano, an AFP correspondent at the scene said.

In Kano, protesters tried to light bonfires outside the governor’s office and police responded with tear gas, driving many of the protesters back, an AFP reporter said. Protesters were also rallying in Lagos and the capital Abuja.
