How Nigerian Army Personnel Killed Three Youths In Edo For Protesting Against Unemployment, ExtortionsApart from the three killed, several other youths sustained varying degrees of bullet injuries.
Natasha said the young people were only protesting in the community against chiefs taking a cut of 40 percent from their monthly salaries.“Before he died he said ‘Someone pointed at me and the soldiers shot me’. He died at home. My cousin was a jovial person that is easy going. He enjoys life and does not deserve that kind of death. We want justice,” Natasha said.
"He's not a cultist, he's not a thief, he's not a trouble maker. In fact, he was sitting in front of the house when Nigerian soldiers shot him! You’re wondering why? "They shot him in the thigh! He could've survived! But they surrounded the house and didn't let anyone leave for a while. When they managed to leave, it was too late. He could've survived! He bled to death and the hospitals wouldn't treat him. Why are soldiers going around shooting?
He said, “My brother was not there when the protest was going on; when we staged a protest in the community last two months, the police and soldiers that came said we didn’t inform them before embarking on the protest. They said we should put it in writing if we want to protest and we notified them about this protest and even gave them the date of the protest.
