I Was awakened at about 6:30 a.m. by a phone call by Pastor Yomi Adesanya. I had retired to bed so late last night that I had initially ignored the first call. But I had to pick his call on second attempt.

It was then he pleaded with me to rush down to Mogaji Street, Ijesha, Sueulere, Lagos where a young lady named Monsurat Ojuade was murdered in cold blood late last night, Friday, 10th September, 2021 by men suspected to be from Ijesha Police station, Surulere, Lagos

On getting to the scene of the incident at No. 53, Mogaji Street, Ijesha, Surulere, Lagos, I had witnessed blood in front of the compound as if a cow had been slaughtered there.

Amid uncontrollable tears from the victim's elder sister, Olaide Ojuade, she narrated to me what transpired the fateful night. She said that at about 11 pm last night, Friday, 10th September, 2021, she and the deceased were about to close shop when they suddenly noticed a stampede. They quickly ran to their compound which is just next to their shop. They were running and screaming at the same time.

On getting to their compound, they both fell down as they were running together holding hands. She narrated that their screaming attracted their mother Mrs Adepeju Olusola Ojuade who was doing some laundry at the time. Their mother had quickly dashed to the gate to barricade it from the pursuing police men. At this point, their mother went to the gate to barricade the gate. At this point they had not even realised that the persons pursuing them were police men. While their mother struggled with the police, she heard one of the policemen shout, "I WILL SHOOT" and almost simultaneously, a gun shot rang out and hit her sister who had already stood up from where they had fallen.

Immediately after the callous shooting of this innocent girl, the killer police man turned around and walked away leaving the victim to bleed to death.

This is a murder too many. Amid tears and pains, the father of the victim Mr. Nurudeen Ojuade said that he was inside when he heard screaming only to rush out of the apartment to see his daughter in the pool of her own blood. According to him, the victim sod to him "Daddy, please, carry me". He immediately rushed her to the hospital where she was later confirmed dead.

The youths of the area have been restive since last night. They had demanded the body of the victim to take same to Ijesha Police station and burn down the station. I have pleaded with them not to resort to self help as two wrongs cannot make a right. Pastor Yomi Adesanya, a former CDA Chairman of the area had also been pleading and asking the restive youths not to resort to violence. I pray they heed our wise counsel as the atmosphere is highly charged there at the moment.

The police have not demonstrated any empathy. Neighbours had to contribute money for the deposit of the corpse at the morgue. They family has been abandoned to their fate as it were. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE

On our own part, we are raising a very strongly worded petition to the appropriate authorities. The family of the victim demands for justice. Justice they must get. We have also assured them that the trigger-happy police man must be brought to book.

A young life with her future ahead of her has just been cut short because in this clime, we place very little or no values to human lives. That's why the police with invade the home of an innocent teenage girl in the dead of night and snuff the life out of her for no reason whatsoever.

We shall continue to update you as the events unfold... Please, remember the grieving family in your prayers.

Again?

No citizen deserves to die like this!

When are we going to be safe again?

Oh no...

This is just so so touching.

What so you tell a parent whose offspring's life had just been cut short for no apparent cause?

Every parent's worst nightmare.

She apparently got killed on the same day she took the last picture. She couldn't have known it was going to be her last picture alive.

Sad...

Abba kyari just look at ur disciples...

In Nigeria, there are millions of ways to die at every moment. If police no shoot you out of annoyance, stray bullet go hit u from robbers/ cultist. Dangote truck fit crush person. Accident dey one corner too, poison from girlfriend, wife own wey stab husband to death. e.t.c

Life in this country has no value again

Young promising girl life wasted !

This country is cursed.


Police kills innocent people

Efcc arrests any how

Fulanis kills and kidnaps

Students are not safe in their schools

DSS are arresting anybody that condemns President.




For the little girl, may her soul rest in peace.

Why always sad news happening in Nigeria?

Such a young girl.. This is really bad..

Ndi dot police that killed her..

Sad

The last pics, is like she's on her period, looks like she's wearing pad

The police station should be surrounded and blocked untill they provide the bastard that killed this girl.

Whoever pulled that trigger will not know peace from this moment.

Everything he worked and laboured for will be lost and his life will be cut short.

So shall it be

Later someone will come and be preaching to me that there's no place like home.
I rather be a slave in another man's land than to continue living in fear in my own country.
RIP dearie, your country failed you...

You will not know the pain of loosing a child untill you become a father or a mother and your child fall sick, you will be ready to spend your last card just to save his or her life, The angry youth shouldn't only burn down the police station alone, they should also kill all the policemen in that station if they refuses to produce the trigger happy policeman that killed this innocent girl

Nigerian police!!!

Police again?



It's time!!

There Is No Single Day That Will Pass Without coming across one bad news or the other in this country

This is terrible

Focus in the message and not the messanger

Are you referring to

Rest on sister.
Not again .Nigeria has failed you

Amen, may he lost all his family members in a tragic and painful way, may there never be celebration in his family, may all his children never live to reach 18, and if anyone has past 18 may thunder strike them to die.

This is just too bad.I am so very disappointed in the police force.How would her loved ones feel? What did it profit the devilish policeman that shot her? Dear little one,the cointry has failed you but God never fails.I pray you rest in peace and that God comforts your family.
That wicked policeman will surely receive his reward in this world and in the one to come
It shall be well.
