EndSARS: Family of driver killed during protest demands justice
“It is highly disheartening to learn that the victim, Mr. Iloamuazor, was performing his legitimate duty when the unfortunate incident happened. He hurt no one to have subjected to such pain death.
“The officers involved are undergoing orderly room trial as we speak, but we will allow the police complete their investigation. We will certainly take the case out of the police and bring the full wrath of the law on the officers who perpetrated this irresponsible act. This will be clear signal for other trigger-happy officers,” Mr Sanwo-Olu said, while commiserating with the family.The family of the deceased on Friday approached the judicial panel to seek justice and compensation.
In an affidavit deposed to the panel by the wife of the deceased, Ngozi Iloamuzor, the family urged the panel to bring the perpetrators to book. The employer of the deceased, Mr Okafor, was also at the panel where he explained how they were stuck in traffic around Stadium Bus-Stop, Ojuelegba, and that his driver alighted to ease himself before being hit by a stray bullet.
He said there was an attempt to save the late driver, but all attempts to resuscitate him were futile because he was shot in the neck, and the bullet pierced through his neck.
