Nigeria arrests 65 at pro-Trump rally

Written by Teunis Felter

Police in Nigeria on Sunday said they had arrested 65 people at a demonstration of support for US President Donald Trump organized by pro-independence activists in the country’s south. The rally, which took place on Friday in the southern oil hub of Port Harcourt, was organized to coincide with the billionaire businessman’s inauguration as the 45th US president. It was organized by a pro-Biafra group advocating an independent state in southeastern Nigeria and was held on the eve of massive demonstrations against Trump across the globe.  The march was not authorized and had disturbed the public order, with police using tear gas to disperse them.
