Nigeria: A Season of Ethnic Discontent

The release and re-arrest of members of a Yoruba organisation this week (November 17) have marked the latest chapter in Nigeria's bid to contain ethnic unrest in various parts of the country. Fredrick Fasehun and Gani Adams, leaders of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), were initially jailed with four other members of the group after clashes broke out in the commercial capital of Lagos last month between rival OPC supporters.
