Men of the Nigeria Police Force, NPF, allegedly shot and killed a young boy in the Kubwa area of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, as the #EndBadGovernance protest enters the third day.

The boy was said to have been killed at close range around the Zenith Bank area of Kubwa.

An eyewitness who spoke after the boy was shot said the deceased was not part of the protest.

“The boy was not part of the protesters, he was coming on his own after the police had pointed 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.

“Clearly this is unprovoked murder as the boy was just sight-seeing the protesters of #Endbadgovanance# before this ugly end.”

However, efforts to confirm the incident from the FCT Police spokesperson, Josephine Adeh, proved were not successful as she’s yet to respond to SMS sent to her.
