A petitioner, Mr. Teslim Ibitoye, has narrated how he and his younger brother were shot by police over an offence they knew nothing about.
The petitioners, who had approached the panel for justice, decried the brutality meted out to them which, according to them, had thrown the family into everlasting sorrow and irreparable loss. He added: “On this fateful day, my younger brother and I went to see our cousin, one Mr. Nureni at Erin-Osun. Though we didn’t meet him at home, when we called him, he asked us to wait for him. But immediately he joined us, all I heard were gunshots. I couldn’t phantom where the gunshots were coming from. All I could remember was that I suddenly became unconscious.
“When I got to Abuja, I was handed over to Abba Kyari, the head of the Police Intelligence Response Team, who, after seeing my health condition, asked them to take me to the hospital. I was eventually admitted to General Hospital, Gwagwalada, Abuja, where I spent several days on a sick bed.
