According to the President of the National Association of Nigeria Students , Ondo state chapter, Akinọla Elijah Temitope, the deceased was at a wedding ceremony on Saturday when the operatives of Amotekun suddenly shot into the air to celebrate the groom who happens to be one of them. The NANS president said it was the gun that was shot into the air that eventually killed the deceased.
He said, “Immediately the Amotekun operatives noticed that the gun has killed the boy, they all disappeared from the scene. It was some of the policemen on the ground that helped to carry the corpse to the hospital. “What we are asking for is for the authority of the corps to provide the officer that perpetrated the act and hand him over to the police for prosecution.
