BREAKING: Police Allegedly Kill Two, Injure Others In Oyo

“As we speak, at least two persons were confirmed dead from the sporadic gunshots fired by the police team members while at least 10 persons have been confirmed to sustain various degrees of injuries.”

No fewer than two persons have been allegedly killed by policemen during a midnight raid on Ajaawa community in Ogo Oluwa Local Government Area of Oyo state.

The chairman of the council, Seun Ojo, made this known via a Save Our Soul (SOS) message to the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali Baba, on Tuesday.

EKO HOT BLOG gathered that Ojo asked the IGP to save the council headquarters and the adjoining villages from attacks by policemen.

The council chairman stated that one person named “Ade master” was suspected to have connived with some powerful people to instigate the attacks, using the said officers,

He added that the raid of the community disrupted its peace and left residents scampering into the bush.

The message read, “I address you today in respect of an unusual happening at the Headquarters of Ogo Oluwa Local Government, Ajaawa.

“Early this morning, around 1am, I was woken up by frantic calls from many people in Ajaawa, following sporadic gunshots that left the town terrified from midnight of Monday, July 28.

“Following quick checks by my office and the office of the Alajaawa (traditional ruler of the community), it was confirmed that the sporadic gunshots and direct shootings into some homes were carried out by some men of the Nigeria Police, who had invaded Ajaawa for no clear reasons.

“We were told that the team came from Abuja, supposedly from the office of the Inspector General of Police,” the council chairman said.

Ojo further stated, “It was confirmed that the team made bookings at the office of the Area Commander in Owode, Ogbomoso, and at the office of the Divisional Police Officer, in Ajaawa, so we had no doubt that they were men of the Nigeria Police.

“We were, however, more than baffled that men of the Nigeria Police would invade a community, unleash sporadic gunshots and cause tension and panic, even loss of lives.

“As we speak, at least two persons were confirmed dead from the sporadic gunshots fired by the police team members while at least 10 persons have been confirmed to sustain various degrees of injuries.

“The final number of the injured is actually being put together as we speak since I had to hurriedly leave the council to make this report here in Ibadan,” the message read in part.
