Protests against police violence in Nigeria entered the tenth day on Saturday with more than 10,000 people invading the streets of Lagos.
Mothers also joined the march in the city centre of Nigeria's economic capital.
\"I am here to come and protest against the killing of my children, against the killing of our children, against the killing of the youth,\" said Adepeju Dinyo.
\"We want a new Nigeria where righteousness, peace and justice reign, where our children can live, can go to school and work and live their lives in peace.\"
The rallies started last week after a video did the rounds online showing a man being beaten, apparently by police from the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) unit.
The police unit has killed and tortured many Nigerians, according to human rights groups.
Since the protests began, at least 10 people have been killed and hundreds injured, according to Amnesty International, which accuses the police of using excessive force against the demonstrators.
The #EndSARS campaign has attracted international support, including from supporters of Black Lives Matter in the U.S. and Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey who retweeted posts from Nigerian demonstrators.
In response to the widespread demonstrations by young Nigerians, the government said it would disband the SARS unit last Sunday.
But the protesters are now calling on the government to be accountable, fight corruption and grant more freedoms.

Shops lifted their shutters and market traders set out their stalls Saturday, as Nigeria's biggest city Lagos cautiously reopened after a curfew was eased following days of unrest.
By SAM OLUKOYA and LEKAN OYEKANMI Associated Press LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — Resentment lingered with the smell of charred tires Friday in Nigeria's relatively calm streets after days of protests over police abuses, as authorities barely acknowledged reports of the military killing at least 12 peaceful demonstrators earlier this week. President Muhammadu Buhari in his first comments on the unrest didn't mention the shootings that sparked international outrage, instead warning protesters against being used by 'subversive elements' and 'undermining national security and law and order' during a national address Thursday night. Soldiers remained in parts of Lagos, Nigeria's largest city, […]

[AfricaFocus] \"The protest is for our lives, it's for our future. We want SARS to end but SARS is just the beginning. They should just wait for us. We're not quiet anymore.\" [This response appears] typical of the critical mass of protesters who are around 18-22 years old, are particularly fearless, and are protesting for the first time. - Ayodeji Rotinwa, Deputy Editor of African Arguments

[Vanguard] After calling out president Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday for responding quickly to Donald Trump's health issues and for remaining unconcerned about security issues in Nigeria, some Nigerians on Twitter have kicked against the manner at which singer, Ayo Balogun, popularly known as 'Wizkid' addressed the president in his tweet.
Guineans started voting on Sunday in a tense presidential election which sees the 82-year-old incumbent Alpha Conde running for a controversial third term.
The leader bypassed a two-term limit in March by reforming the constitution. The move sparked mass protests, which resulted in dozens being killed in security crackdowns.
Campaigning for the first round of the vote was marked by insults traded between Conde and his leading rival Cellou Dalein Diallo.
Sporadic clashes between rival supporters have broken out across Guinea in recent days, sparking fears of further violence on polling day.
Diallo, 68, now Guinea's leading opposition politician, was formerly a prime minister under authoritarian leader Lansana Conte.
Guinea's election is the first in a string across West Africa, which will be followed by Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, Ghana and Niger.
Activists are concerned if Conde wins, it could bode ill for democratic norms in the region.
Conde promised to boost the economy of the nation of some 13 million people, to tackle corruption and increase Guinea's lamentable electricity access.
He has pledged to make Guinea \"Africa's second (economic) power after Nigeria\".
But Guineans interviewed by AFP expressed deep frustration about the state of the country, regardless of their political stripes.
The country is rich in minerals such as bauxite, iron and gold, and has abundant fresh-water resources. But it is still one of the poorest countries in the world.
\"In 10 years, Alpha Conde has done nothing,\" said Aminata Barry, a 36-year-old opposition supporter, adding that he had made \"only promises\".
But Conde has a bedrock of supporters who hail his efforts at economic revival.
\"Despite his age, we want him for the future of our youth,\" lawyer Sekou Diakate, 47, who was among thousands attending a Conde rally told AFP on Friday.
Some 5.4 million registered voters are due to cast their ballots, and initial results are expected to be announced several days afterwards.
A second round is scheduled for November 24.
