Protests in Nigeria over a now-disbanded police unit, the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (Sars), have been continuing for weeks in cities like Lagos.

The protesters are using the social media hashtag #EndSars to rally crowds.

A number of people have been shot and killed. Many Nigerian celebrities have voiced support for the protesters including Falz, John Boyega, Tiwa Savage. The cause is also getting support internationally - the pop star Rihanna has also spoken out saying her 'heart breaks' for what's happening.

This is a breaking news story, so keep checking in with the BBC for live updates about the situation across Nigeria including the latest on the curfew, the Lekki toll gate and DJ Switch.
