A CHILD was killed in Lagos and a policeman seriously injured on Wednesday after an attempt to make an arrest in the city’s main market spiralled out of control. Traders said the market in the Democratic Republic of Congo capital was shut down on Wednesday afternoon after efforts by police to catch a child-thief degenerated into brawling. After the child, whose age was unknown, was killed, one of his friends hurled a stone at a policeman, causing severe head injuries and provoking general panic throughout the market. -AFP
