Lagos residents protest alleged Police killing of young man

NAN photo

NAN learnt that an unmarked commercial bus occupied by the policemen had visited the community on Sunday afternoon in search of youths who “dressed wildly” and “wearing dreadlocks.” “I and some others who were drinking at a bar saw what was happening and quickly explained to the policemen that he was not a“They ignored our talks and kept dragging the boy to their vehicle. We all came out from the bar and kept explaining to the policemen that they were arresting a wrong person.“Seeing this, I and the others quickly turned back to avoid trouble, but because Kunle was probably the last person in the crowd, he was shot point blank from behind.

Under buhari, security agents have turned to insecurity agents. Instead of protecting lives, they kill without remorse. Instead of maintaining law and order, they instigate tension and chaos. Instead of being neutral, they have turned to APC election thugs.

Good

The MBuhari administration is only after fighting a fake corruption, they do not care about the innocent Nigerian citizens that die everyday EndSars USEmbassyAbuja UKinNigeria UNHumanRights AlJazeera 10DowningStreet SecPompeo WorldGovSummit cnni IntlCrimCourt

Nigerians that are now scared of protests? I do hope the docility of the populace don't become the imprimatur needed by our autocratic leaders for the perennial oppression and suppression of Nigerians.

Enough is Enough.. Endsars

What is the meaning of we having a government. Africa should please rise up. We have to rise up and stop presenting our selves like something living in the bush. It is a high time our leaders take good examples from civilised and God fearing leaders in the world.

this a very sad story when will our policeman have sense.

Every time police shooting. What is happening. Some time ago it was customs killing, there are reported cases of many people being killed by security agencies who supposed to be their protector. What a country and no serious mesure is being taken to curtail this menance.

It is probably only irreversibly mad people that think 'dressing wildly' and 'wearing dreadlocks' brand one a cultist. This crime is not new, the cops need to answer this allegation with so many useless units FSARS, Anti this, Ultra-that etc. running wild

Shut down the state or region or country peacefully. That's the language the Govt understands. The only way govt listens

When the PoliceNG take pleasure in killing the people they are paid to protect...

This is where NLC and other civil society organization should swing to action

When this police shooting of unarmed citizens gon end? This shit crazy.
