Violent Protests Erupt in UK and Nigeria

In the UK, violent far-right protests erupted in Sunderland, resulting in the torching of a police station and injuries to police officers. The unrest was fueled by misinformation on social media about a stabbing incident in Southport, with eight arrests made and warnings issued by officials against such violent actions. Meanwhile, in Nigeria, widespread protests under the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria movement continue to escalate, with demonstrators decrying economic hardship and bad governance. In Abuja, protesters invited religious leaders for discussions, while in Jos, protests were led by prominent figures like former Minister Solomon Dalung and cleric Prophet Isa Elbuba. These protests have seen instances of violence, including the looting of a newly built communication center in Kano, and police have responded with tear gas in several locations to disperse crowds.
