A  young boy in the Kubwa area of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, was shot and killed by the Nigerian Police Force, as the #EndBadGovernance protest enters the third day.

The boy, an onlooker was said to have been killed at close range around the Zenith Bank area of Kubwa.

Eyewitnesses who spoke after the boy was shot said the deceased was not part of the protest.

“The boy was not part of the protesters, he was coming on his own after the police had pointed a gun at us from a different position,” the eyewitness said.

Activist lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, described the incident as an unprovoked murder. He said the boy was just watching the protesters when he was shot dead.

“IGP Kayode Egbetokun and his bloodthirsty men should come and eat the meat of this innocent young guy shot on the neck at close range at Kubwa by Zenith Bank.

“Clearly this is unprovoked murder as the boy was just sight-seeing the protesters of #Endbadgovanance# before this ugly end.”
