The guard killed the two persons after firing gunshots to disperse people running after the politician’s vehicle.
According to Punch, a man and a woman were killed on the spot while another sustained injuries from the gunshots. He said that the politician attended the Oranmiyan Festival and left after some minutes.
Eyewitness disclosed that on the politician’s way out, he dropped some money and while people struggled to pick the money, they blocked his vehicle. One of his guards tried to disperse them but they did not leave.
“He brought out his gun and fired a few shots that hit two people. They later died while one other woman was injured.
“There was a pandemonium immediately as people ran to safety. Some people rescued the guard from the mob, but they descended on the driver. The driver was beaten and stripped naked. He kept shouting that he was not the one that fired the shots,” the eyewitness said.
The Oyo State Police Public Relations Officer, Adekunle Ajisebutu, confirmed the incident, adding that two suspects had been arrested.
Hmmmmmm..... So sad and an act so cruel. Why use gun to disperse them? Why not use whip or stick? The poor masses you denied good things that ought to reach them by looting the allocation accrued to the state only to end up killing them because of the rubbish money you throw to them as dogs. Who knows if the killings aren't ritual purposes. Nigeria is really a sick country, bleeding unto death.
ReplyDeleteThe politician has no name? Why shoot into the air when they know that the place was crowded.
ReplyDeleteBoth the unnamed politician along with all his guards should be charged.
Justice for the dead.
RIP to the dead.
Oyebisi Ilaka, but then I believe the overzealous security man is solely responsible for his actions.
