particular the police and i was the formation of a new truck to community to do with one crimes in niger to remember in the early days in the past few days we've seen how the government has announced that it has got units the protesters are calling for which is the special interests. now the youths are not happy with what has been a painful what has been done so far they want new comes on the part of the police the initial only government to investigate now the question is. on the street here talking to one of the protesters is going to tell us tell us why you are scared protesting and protest and today because they have been changing and from sas the federal us us from federal response and now bodies that was. no organizers want to make this more national thing they want to expand not only it protests against police brutality but they also want to see more of forms in the public sector they want all of those leaders politicians and everybody more accountable to the public in nigeria so this is one of the things that is keeping these protests rolling. at least 36 people have now died in
