Some youths in Akure, the Ondo State capital, on Friday staged a protest against the killing of one Ibikunle Alonge, crushed to death by a bullion van belonging to a commercial bank in the town.
Alonge was knocked along Ondo Road, at Fanibi Area of Akure, on Thursday. It was alleged that the bullion van and the police escorts abandoned the corpse of the deceased on the road and drove away.
A brother of the deceased, Mr Segun Marcel, who described the incident as unfortunate, called on the state police command to launch a manhunt for the hit-and-run bullion van driver. One of the friends of the deceased, Michael Lawrence, said the driver of the bullion van left its lane to hit Alonge.
