The father to the 10-year-old boy who was shot dead yesterday after being hit by a stray bullet from security operatives during the demolition of popular Eke-Ukwu market in Owerri, Imo state capital - has narrated his ordeal. The bereaved father was in tears at his No. 9 Oguamanam Street residence close to the demolished market.

His words: “I told my little son to come and assist me remove my goods from the shop before the people demolishing the market got to the place. “When we were crossing the road we all raised our hands up but these soldiers just drove by and opened fire and shot my son in the head. The bullet hit him in the eye and came out from the back of his head and he fell and died.

“I want justice. I don’t want the killers of my son to go unpunished. He was just a little boy, he was not armed. I don’t know if I can bear this"

So sad

Justice must reign

This is arrant nonsense

Its high time our security agencies knows that they should be civil

No matter the height of provocation

Much as we try to deny it, Nigeria is still miles apart from a Third world country. We keep going backwards instead of developing.

The security that was sent there, wasn't it to ensure peace? Why move to such with real bullets when there's option for a rubber bullet or even tear gas?


BLOODY ANIMALS

Hate is like CANCER, very easy to treat and cure if discovered at early stage but almost impossible to cure when discovered late!

So sad , may his gentle soul rest in peace

And the governor has been mute abt it

whoever that pulled that trigger must be made to face the consequences of his actions

This guy above me is an Idiotic fool. So you are comparing the little boy with bokoharam. Zoo soldiers can never be professional

Killer governor,

Was the boy protesting? or did he carry bomb? His only crime was that he is Igbo. I say things the way they are and I don't care Wat u want to think about it. Nigeria is not one and all tribes don't have equal rights to protection of lives. Some tribes are seen as people who needs to be killed for any little thing

His crime is that he is Igbo. That is why this small boy was killed.

It will not stop. The poor boy was innocent, more Igbos are being killed everyday in different parts of Igboland and nothing is happening. Your type has been supporting the ongoing murder. Keep on, supporting evil. Your own day is coming. Be sure about that.

A country where nothing works well.

A boy was killed just like that.

I see
U must be blind to think that everyone that protested the demolition of that market is IPOB. So how many Hausa's were shot in Abuja wen Charley boy was attacked? how many were shot wen Eunice and the Christian woman in Kano was mobbed and killed? How many were shot wen APC sponsored and supported BBOG rally? How many were shot in Kaduna rally against Miss World? do u want me to go on and on.
The north would know no peace and pray that ur people don't lament on ur life the way they are lamenting on that boy
