LONDON, Oct 21 (Reuters) - Britain's foreign minister called
on Wednesday for an end to violence in Nigeria as demonstrators
there object to police brutality and demand wide-ranging
reforms.
"I am deeply concerned by the recent violence and continued
clashes in Nigeria, and am alarmed by widespread reports of
civilian deaths," Dominic Raab said in a statement.
"We call for an end to violence. The Nigerian government
must urgently investigate reports of brutality at the hands of
the security forces and hold those responsible to account," he
added.
