A 25-year-old man identified as Monsuru Hamzat, was killed during the presidential and national assembly elections last Saturday in Ibadan, Oyo state.
It was gathered that the deceased by a notorious gang
in the area known as the ‘One million boys’ who stormed polling units 13
and 14 in Lako area and shot sporadically.
“We saw them from
afar, they were youths armed with brand new guns. They told us they are
One million boys; thus, their aim was to snatch ballot boxes and not to
harm anybody. Subsequently, they snatched two ballot boxes in the two
polling units,” he said.
“While everybody was running
helter-skelter in order to save their dear live so they shot at Monsuru
as they had mistakenly believed he was pursuing them because he ran
almost to the same direction with them,” he added.
