Biafran pro-Trump rally turns violent in Nigeria

A rally in Nigeria to show support for Donald Trump as he was inaugurated as US president turned violent, injuring several people, police say.

The event in the southern oil hub of Port Harcourt was organised by a group supporting the independence of the south-eastern region of Biafra.

The group says it backs Mr Trump because he supports "self-governance".

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) allege 11 people died in clashes with security forces during the rally.

Back in the '60s was the Nigerian Civil War and this ongoing conflict with the area known as Biafra that wants independence. Many people died, from famine as well.

I doubt if all of these people died at that rally. There may have been another rally earlier in the week.
