“Shoot Us” – Nigerians Shout As They Clash With Police In Pakistan

A group of Nigerians clashed with police in Karachi, Pakistan on Saturday, September 9, 2023. The clash occurred after the police attempted to disperse a protest by the Nigerians, who were demanding the release of one of their compatriots who had been arrested by the authorities.

The Nigerians reportedly shouted “shoot us” at the police, and threw stones at them. The police responded with tear gas and baton charges.

The clash left several people injured, including both Nigerians and police officers. The Nigerian who had been arrested was eventually released.

The cause of the Nigerians’ protest is not yet clear. However, it is believed that they may have been protesting against the recent spate of arrests of Nigerians in Pakistan.

The clashes between Nigerians and police in Pakistan are not uncommon. In recent years, there have been several incidents of violence between the two groups.

The reasons for the violence are complex and multifaceted. However, they are often rooted in discrimination and racism against Nigerians in Pakistan.

The Pakistani government has pledged to investigate the latest clashes and to take steps to prevent future violence. However, it remains to be seen whether the government will be able to address the underlying causes of the problem.
