Protest Hits Ajah As Inspector Accidentally Kills Man
Angry youths on Wednesday morning protested the killing of a young man, identified as Gafaru Buraimoh, by an Inspector.
The victim, a resident of Happy Land Estate in Ajah, was killed by a stray bullet from the trigger-happy Inspector.
Sources said that Buraimoh was patronising a Point of Sale (POS) vendor when he was hit by the bullet from the Inspector, who was among cops pursuing black marker fuel sellers.
Although the incident was said to have occurred around 11:30pm on Tuesday, youths who heard about it gathered at the Elemoro Area Command in protest from 8am on Wednesday..
It was gathered that the protesting youths besieged the police station, blocked the expressways and made it impossible for vehicles to pass, thereby preventing those going to work from getting to their destinations.
As the crowd grew, the police were alleged to have released teargas to scare them, but this made the situation worse and riotous.
