LAGOS, Oct 22 (Reuters) - Nigeria's President Muhammadu
Buhari has directed security forces to operate within "the
confines of legality" and show restraint in countering protests
and violence, his national security adviser said on Thursday.
Protests in Lagos over police brutality have spiralled into
violence in recent days.
"The security agencies have been asked to apply as much
restraint as possible," National Security adviser Babagana
Monguno said. "But then again, the youths should also understand
that pushing their luck might also result in unwanted issues."
