A 12-year-old boy in Togo was killed on Monday by a policeman who fired in warning to disperse a protest demanding the country's schools re-open, an official said.
The west African nation's government had temporarily shut all primary and secondary schools following student protests last week that saw property destroyed, according to a government statement.
"A pupil... was killed by a bullet when police fired warning shots" to stop students ransacking local government buildings in the northern town of Dapaong, Security Minister Colonel Damehane Yark told AFP.
