The United States government has temporarily shut down its consulate in Lagos.

The consulate announced this in a statement released today Tuesday, October 20. Read below.

Some police stations have been targeted. Lagos State closed all schools indefinitely as of October 19 due to protests and implemented a 24-hour curfew starting at 4:00pm on October 20.
