There was commotion in Festac Town, Lagos, following the killing of two fuel black marketers by a task force made of Police and Civil Defence officials. The killing of the marketers occurred around 1pm at the Forte oil petrol station also known as AP bus stop located a 21 Road, I close.
It was gathered that trouble began when some black marketers resisted efforts by the task force who were seizing petroleum products from road side vendors and giving them out free to motorcycle riders.
When the security agents got to Forte oil petrol station, they became overwhelmed by several black marketers and began to shoot sporadically to disperse the crowd, killing two persons in the process.
Angered by the conduct of the security officials, some persons tried to set the petrol station on fire as a means of venting their anger, but this made the Police Civil Defence officials fire more rounds into the air to disperse the angry crowd. One black marketer named Shina was shot in the buttocks by a stray bullet, while others persons suffered varying degree of injuries in the process of running to safety.
As at the time of writing this report, smoke was seen billowing from the Forte Oil petrol station, but it was unclear if it was the petrol station that was in flames or some other object as Dailytimes reporter had to scamper for safety due to sporadic shooting by the police.
Which way Naija?
ReplyDeletePolice is ur friend!!!
DeleteThe same people meant to protect the citizens!
Rip
Black marketets are saving lives ooo. Imagine i cant carry my gen to the filling station so i have to buy in gallons, and fuel station wont sell. The ones that sell charge 1k extra to buy 20litres in jerrycan, imagine, more than half the actual cost of the fuel.
DeleteThe police should go and shoot those that actually commit serious crimes by bursting pipelines.
May d dead RIP.
ReplyDeleteSo sad.

ReplyDeleteHow do Buhari even sleep at night considering the suffering. he has imposed on Nigerian less than a year into his govt?
ReplyDeleteEnd time commotion

Na God save them oo,pple vex sef wan beat soldier
Mc pinky
Shebi this is part of the change people voted for???..ok ooo they should continue, next time when people hear change, they will think twice before taking a decision.
ReplyDeleteThe impunity with which our security agents carry out their duties ehn... it always leaves a sour taste in the mouth!
ReplyDeleteAnd these killers will be shielded from prosecution o!
Just watch out for the story the PRO of the joint task force will spin!
*Ghanaman signing out*
Jesus!
ReplyDeleteThis is serious o...chai!
Hmmmm,abi dem dey seize am for reselling and personal usage like in abuja
ReplyDeleteGive us fuel, no, but they kill the people who have decided to go out of their way to give to us. These officials hardly queue at fuel stations to buy fuel that is why they have resulted to this. Must you use guns to attack people? And they are suppose to be the ones to protect us.
ReplyDeleteNo picture?
ReplyDeleteSai Baba and Kachiuku una don see wetin una dey cause. One is Ojemba, the other one is leaky leaky mouth.
ReplyDeleteRIP to the dead guys. Go and tell God Almighty that no fuel in the country
I hate this police especially the ones in Bayelsa. They are very corrupt.oo boy shoot for buttocks hmmmmmm no comment thank God na man
ReplyDeleteStella stop hoarding comments abeg post them. I hardly comment and i enjoy reading peoples comments so why wont you release it on time. When did you start this one again?
ReplyDeleteHardly comment my foot. Mechie onu osiso bitter anonymous
DeleteWhy on earth would the task force do that? Me, if I see black market now, I would buy! What they should do is to work towards making the fuel available everywhere! Rather than harming people up and down...
ReplyDeleteRip to the dead.
ReplyDeleteI blame the government in all these happenings. Imagine telling people to go carry their generator tanks in order to buy fuel. Not like I wish to encourage black marketers, but it's my business if I wish to pay more for it. Abeg I don tire sef.
ReplyDeleteYou see what this Buhari is causing?....it shall not be well with this man!...
ReplyDeleteAs it's never been well with u ba?
DeleteHahhaha anon 12:44..
DeleteSee what these nation has become? It's a pity..
ReplyDeleteSai baba, this is another victim of fuel scarcity.It is equally sad that you have refuse to do the needful as the petroleum minister.
ReplyDeleteRIP.
I was there on Tuesday night and i live around that filing station. Firstly its was a civil defense woman that did the shooting. The force are the most corrupt people, the filing station said dey weren't selling in jerry cans but only to motorists yet these soldiers, navy, police nd civil defense corps would bring their vehicles skip the queue fill their tank and bring as many jerry cans they want, if theirs isn't enough they seize other people's jerrycans take the fuel and leave . Some when they come they start flogging people nd puncturing tires and beating okada men just to scare those that would complain about them skipping the line. Stella I witnessed all this with my eyes it was unbelievable. As at Tuesday everyone was angry at the men in the force, when people started resisting that they have had a enough a soldier told the person in charge to off the fuel pump from the office ( first time i knew that could be done) they are lawless in that AP/ forte in 21rd and worse the supervisor was present and had his own people he was doing back door deals with. I am sure people had enough with those in the force and tried to resist and using koboko wasn't enough to scare the angry crowd so they resorted to using gun.
ReplyDeleteThat stupid filling station that even when there's fuel they'll stop selling once it's 1pm.
