Pro-subsidy Protester Gunned Down By Police In Ilorin
The growing nationwide protest against President Goodluck Jonathan’s hiking of petroleum prices claimed its first casualty today as police shot a protester dead in Ilorin, Kwara State.
The lifeless body of the protester lay on the street after he was shot in the chest by a policeman. The killing comes on the heels of the release of a former member of the House of Representatives, Dino Melaye, along with two others who were arrested by the police in Abuja yesterday for organizing the first anti-fuel hike protest in the federal capital.
