Students Rioted In Lagos In 1971 Over The Death Of 2 Demonstrators (Throwback)

1971 footage shows student riots in Lagos, following the deaths of two demonstrators at Ibadan by the police.

In retaliation, the protesters burnt down two police posts and hunted down policemen in the city. Police officers were reported to have torn off their uniforms to escape the rioters.
Eventually the police barricaded a road into the city and arrested at least 15 students.

The original protest which was held in the university of Ibadan was about the poor standard of the catering service in the school. The protest had lasted for four days before police opened fire on 3,000 students, killing two and injuring many. These act was what led to protests in other universities.
