Event

Police forces will likely maintain a heightened security posture in the vicinity of Ogunnusi Road in Lagos following unrest in the vicinity of the Babs Fafunwa Secondary School Dec. 7. Protesters spontaneously gathered to demand justice after a truck lost control and killed an unverified number of students. Clashes ensued with police, who forcefully dispersed protesters, causing traffic and business disruptions in the area.

Further protests and clashes between protesters and security forces are possible in the vicinity of any protest that materializes.

Advice

Avoid the affected areas through at least Dec. 10. Keep away from areas with a heavy security presence and anticipate associated localized disruptions. Depart the area at the first sign of a confrontation.
