A yoghurt seller, identified simply as Jumoke, has been killed by bullets reportedly fired by a security operative dispersing Yoruba Nation agitators at Ojota, Lagos State.
The protest, which started with singing and chanting, got rowdy as security operatives shot in the air, and also teargassed protesters.
Our correspondent, who sighted the girl’s corpse, observed that bullets had ripped open the victim’s stomach. She is said to be 14 years old.
However, the lifeless body of the girl was crowded by sympathisers at the scene.
A resident who pleaded anonymity told newsmen that, the girl was about to open the shop when the stray bullet hit her.
The resident said Police later visited the scene of the incident, and took her dead body away.
