Protests Rocks Wuse Market As Task Force Killed A Taxi Driver by Hargbo(m): 1:48pm On Nov 08, 2017 |
A violent protest is currently ongoing in Wuse Market, at the nation’s capital, Abuja. The protesters are blocking vehicles and harassing visitors from entering the market. It was learnt that the protesters are angry over the killing of a taxi driver allegedly murdered by a task force in the market Wednesday morning. The protest that started from Wuse market in Abuja spread to other parts of the Nigerian capital but had started subsiding by 1:00 p.m. The protesters blocked vehicles and harassed motorists driving around the market, the largest in the Nigerian capital. The protest spread to Berger, a major transit point in Abuja, with thousands of motorists and commuters stranded. Several protesters and witnesses confirmed that the protest started after the driver of a painted taxi was shot by a task force in the market on Wednesday morning. David Johnson, one of the protesting taxi drivers, said the victim was shot by a soldier on the task force. “That is how the task force normally terrorise us,” a Taxi Driver Confirm. There has been no official confirmation on whether or not the victim died. “The driver was shot by a soldier. When he fell down, they (the task force) quickly carried him and dumped him in his vehicle. I saw blood gushing out from the victim at the time they sped off to escape mob attack,” another witness said. Another taxi driver named Emmanuel, said, “those task force are nothing short of evils. They harass us on daily basis, detain our cars and extort money from us without retiring it to the government.” The taxi drivers could be heard saying they wanted to march to the office of the VIO and the task force to continue with the protest.

It's a pity. funny enough, the protest won't stop those trigger happy operatives from shooting another target. Police, army, navy should all be given reorientation as to how to handle unarmed civilians. RIP to the dead. Is he aware that people are protesting on his behalf? Capital NO!!! Sad! |
