The incident occurred when the student's father, driving a tinted black Honda Accord with registration number FST 639 JU, drove against traffic on Alakia Old Road at around 7:30 am.
OYRTMA officials, backed by police, had embarked on a traffic operation on the road due to complaints of constant one-way violations that had led to deaths and life-threatening injuries. The police presence was necessary due to previous assaults on OYRTMA officials, including the recent killing of one official by a traffic offender.
During an attempt to apprehend the traffic offender, a police officer, who is already under investigation by the state police command, allegedly fired a shot at one of the tyres, which missed its target and hit the student, resulting in his death.

One thing that is becoming a major issue in this country is accountability.
ReplyDeleteFor every sad incident, rather than owning up, they always try to meander through and make excuses, in order to exonerate themselves from the calamity caused.
We need to do better.
Liars indeed,the boy was rushed to Welfare hospital, the liars say it's uch. They couldn't even get their facts right.
DeleteThank you so much The Beloved One. This country is finished and it is so sad that nothing seems to be changing. Instead of acknowledging the system is failing Nigerians, they will do anything to fault the victim. I feel so sad!
DeleteEye witnesses said the boy's father was at a zebra crossing while the police men were chasing yahoo boys but the government will always defend their own. O ga o
ReplyDeleteSo because his father drove against traffic means death is the punishment for it.. Cock and bull story..may his soul rest in peace
ReplyDeleteLies 😠😠😠. Fires the tyres indeed. 😭😭😭
ReplyDeleteSee them lying through their teeth. Seems many of them are blood sucking demons.
DeleteMtcheeeew....
ReplyDeleteLook at them defending rubbish! Mistakenly gunned down yen yen yen. Nigerian Police should not to allowed to carry firearms shikena. It's obvious they misuse it, they're killing people they claim to protect! See the Taraba student just this week, now another one! I dey vex jor
I don't understand, please make me understand Police. What are you people saying?What are you vomiting from your mouth as an excuse?Instead of you to own up and take accountability you are explaining.Explaining what exactly? How the father and child would have died because you shot at a moving car's tyre?You definitely would have killed them both if that bullet got the tyre.Why did you shoot?why? Please I want to understand this very wicked,evil and deadly explanation given for killing a human,a minor at that.I hate it when children die,That innocent boy had plans,he had ambitions,he had his future mapped out,he wanted to make a difference,he woke up happy and excited yesterday.You TOOK ALL THAT AWAY.You didn't give him a chance/choice and you are busy explaining how you meant to kill father and child?
ReplyDeleteToh, thank you oo because I'm wondering why shoot at the tyre in the first place? Don't they know shooting at the tire can cause fatal accident as well which might lead to deaths? Abi these people's brains dey leak? Wo, this country fit make person craze. Excuses upon excuses

ReplyDeleteThis their explanation stinks and it's an insult to the deceased. No empathy, no apology, no accountability, nothing just excuses and blame game.
