No record on the demonstrations that took
place in the city of Umvaka in May 1989 is currently available to
the DIRB in Ottawa. However, according to available sources,
economic riots effectively took place in Lagos, Benin city, Enugu,
Ibadan and the coastal city of Port Harcourt at the end of May
1989, following the adoption of an economic austerity programme by
the government of Nigeria (The New York Times 4 June 1989;
Keesing's June 1989, 36727).
