Yesterday, in Nigeria’s capital city Lagos, we launched our report, Port Harcourt Demolitions: Excessive Use of Force Against Demonstrators, which details how, on 12 October 2009, police and security officers opened fire on a group of people in the informal waterfront community of Bundu, who were peacefully protesting against plans to forcibly evict them and demolish their homes.
At least 12 people were shot and seriously injured. The number of people killed remains unknown. There has never been a formal investigation into the incident.
