Policeman’s Stray Bullet Kills WAEC Student During High-Speed Chase in Ibadan 

A policeman’s stray bullet has claimed the life of a young student on his way to sit for the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) exams.

Eyewitnesses reported that the officer, in pursuit of a fleeing vehicle along the busy Gbagi Market Road, opened fire in an attempt to stop a suspect. One of the bullets allegedly missed its target and struck a schoolboy who was riding on his father’s motorcycle alongside his twin brother.

Daily Sun gathered that the boy was immediately rushed to Welfare Hospital but was declared dead on arrival. According to bystanders, the deceased and his twin were en route to their examination center at the time of the incident.

The sympathizers and market traders at the scene in a protest took the boy’s body to the Oyo State Secretariat. There, demonstrators demanded immediate justice and sought an audience with Governor Seyi Makinde.

In a video presently circulating online, security personnel were seen attempting to control the growing crowd, while sympathizers called for transparency, ability, and urgent reform in police engagement protocols in public places.

As of press time, neither the Oyo State Police Command nor the state government had issued an official statement.

Lord!

These people again

What a country RIP to the innocent Boy

Avoidable mistake

Normal thing in Nigeria

This life self

Olopa. RIP young Lad.

The police force is just a useless body full of unfit people

Hmm

Why do you have to shoot in a crowded area?
A lot of our security personnel lack proper arms training. They know how to pull the trigger but they lack proper aiming skills. The life of this young boy has been cut short because of a very avoidable incident. I hope the policeman is brought to justice. May the soul of the departed rest in peace 🕊️

Mad Republic

Na wah for this our country o

Nigeria police nai come out last for the whole world 🌎🌍

Which kind country be this, my God

An experience the other twin bro will never forget for the rest of his life

A young live cut short by a gun paid for from his dad's taxes..

SAD!!!

God have mercy

This people again.

The evil spirits in the ruling party will not call their demons to order.

Tomorrow they will pay some jobless ba$tard* on Nl to chase a wild goose in the name of image making.

I just hope they do something cos what will happen after this will not be funny, killing a twin, like are they mad?? I can't even imagine how the other twin will feel now cos what kind of life is this. This is something that can never happen in the western world, imagine a car didn't wait and the net thing is to open fire, look at such foolishness.... I am sure this will not end here...

Until will withdraw AK-47 from these killer squads, our insecurity is unsolved.

this issad

If there was no proof, they may have labelled him an armed robber.

I hope these blood suckers get paid their dues in kind

Even a Zoo is better than this place. It should be called a Jungle

Just imagine a promising lad wasted like that and nothing will happen to those idiots.

Police is not your friend

These cr.azy lots again

in a country, where the law works...
theres nothing like stray bullet
anyone who breaches the law of the land to the point of killing an innocent soul
should be made to face the the law to serve justice to the innocent..
and to serve as deterrent to others..
