Nigerian Police Deny Use of Live Ammunition on #FreeNnamdiKanu Protesters

The Nigerian police have refuted claims of using live ammunition on protesters advocating for the release of Nnamdi Kanu. Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore accused the police of firing live rounds during the protests, but the police spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, clarified that tear gas canisters were mistaken for live ammunition due to the sound they produce.

The police emphasized that no live ammunition was used and that their actions were in line with standard operating procedures to disperse the protest without causing harm or injuries.
