Nigerian human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore has reacted
to the killing of a 14-year-old by a stray bullet at Yoruba Nation rally in
Lagos.
The rally held in the Ojota area of Lagos state on Saturday
with protesters defying security operatives’ presence and orders.
The teenage girl, who is a yoghurt hawker, was said to have
been shot dead by stray bullets from security operatives as they tried to
disperse Yoruba agitators.
Reacting, Sowore said the Lagos Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, must be held liable for the death of the girl.
On his Twitter page, he wrote: “Lagos state Commissioner of
@PoliceNG Hakeem Odumosu must be held personally liable for the death of this
innocent child!”
Sowore, while throwing his weight behind the protest, urged those
protesting at the Yoruba Nation rally not to give up but stand their ground.
“Oduduwa Rally is in progress! No one should be afraid of
Muhammadu Buhari and his security agents! Stand your ground, Enough is enough!
“We must break the back of Buhari’s tyranny,” Sowore
tweeted.
