A security guard at the Ebenezer Primary School, Mararaba, Nasarawa State, has died after he was allegedly shot by men of the Department of State Services during an argument.
The deceased, simply identified as Kingsley, was said to have been accosted by the security personnel on Tuesday after he was found near a drunken man lying on the ground.
But another version said the security guard might have been mistaken for a cultist and killed because he resisted arrest and attempted to escape. He stated, “What happened to Kingsley is sad and unfair. Nigerian security agencies are not even interested in making the country more secure. All they care about is how the masses will fear them. I know a sharp corner where the incident happened; that area is a terrible place, you can’t walk there at night or even in the day time.”
Writing on a popular online forum, Nairaland, a lady, Yembet wondered when the security agencies would cease to kill unarmed civilians, noting that many lives had been lost to extra-judicial killings by law enforcement agents.
