A Nigerian United Nations (UN) peacekeeper has been killed by rioters in Haiti protesting high food price in the Caribbean country.
The yet-to-be-identified soldier was shot dead on Saturday in Port-au-Prince where the protest forced the country's parliament to sack its Prime Minister, Mr Jacques-Edouard Alexis.
Witnesses say the Nigerian peacekeeper was dragged from his marked car and shot as he was taking food to colleagues at a police station in the capital.
This article addresses the recent murder of a peacekeeper serving in Haiti. According to the article, the man was dragged from his car and shot. This murder happened at a protest of high food prices; the protesters were eventually dispersed by tear gas and warning shots fired by other Nigerian police officers so that they could get the murdered man's body. Just last year seven other Nigerian soldiers were killed in Darfur by rebel forces. This article refers to Nigeria as a "peacekeeper" which shows the great influence and positive impact Nigeria has and is attempting to have on other parts of the world.
