Mukaila Shobukola, the father of the schoolgirl who was hit by a stray bullet fired by police during a violent clash with Okada riders at Iyana Ipaja area of Lagos, has said he would have confronted the officer who fired the shot without minding the consequences.
Narrating how he heard about the incident, Shobukola, 55, in an interview with PunchNG, said he was at his workshop when he received a distress call from his wife that Mariam had been hit by a bullet.“Without wasting time, I rushed to the scene of the incident. Behold, there was no vehicle as all commercial drivers in the area disappeared due to the clash. I had to trek the long distance. By that time, I heard that she had been rushed to a general hospital at Ile Epo. I had to trek there.
Shobukola, however, appealed to the government and Nigerians to come to his aid in raising funds to clear Mariam’s hospital bills.
