“The boy was not part of the protesters, he was coming on his own after the police had pointed a gun at us from a different position,” the eyewitness said.

Activist lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, described the incident as an unprovoked murder.

Adeyanju said the boy was just watching the protesters when he was shot dead.

In a message sent to DAILY POST, Adeyanju said: “IGP Kayode Egbetokun and his bloodthirsty men should come and eat the meat of this innocent young guy shot on the neck on close range at Kubwa by Zenith Bank.
