Vigilante Kills Student, MTN Staff In Abeokuta by brunnet: 8:56pm On Jul 07, 2013
Abeokuta — Tragedy struck in Abeokuta on Sunday when men of the Vigilante Service of Ogun State (VSO) State Vigilance Service reportedly shot dead a student of Moshod Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta; Moruf Raji, 29, and a staff of MTN, Akeem Usman ,32, while chasing suspected armed robbers.

The incident occurred at Adigbe, Abeokuta about 1.00am when a team of Vigilance Service allegedly ordered residents of 18A Sorinola Avenue, Ori yanrin, to open the gate for them to arrest suspected armed robbers believed to be hiding in the building.

An eye witness told Vanguard that some of the residents who were mostly students refused to open the gate thinking that the vigilantes were armed robbers that were trying to play smart on them.

The witness further explained that both Moruf and Akeem went out from their rooms and opened the gate for them but, as the duo were attempting to open the gate, one of the men of VSO opened fire on the two men and killed them.

Vanguard gathered that,men of the VSO still went ahead to force their way into the compound after shooting the two men and ransacked the rooms.

If they want to indirectly form state police then they should at least structure it properly to have educated and trained officers coordinating the vigilantes.
That's how the lower cadre of nigerian police with arms behave too, its mostly due to the relative level of education of their officers starting from inspectors that keep them in check a bit.

Doing the opposite of their job. Unbelievable! Are they to protect lives or take them. And no physical violence was perpetrated against them, but they opened fire.
R.I.P to the victims

Give little power to some people and it will get to there head.
The problem with our nigerian thing is that we always delegate power to thugs and touts. I tell you go and check majority of the vigilante group or some the so called task force you will see that they are nothing but chain smokers,drunks and illiterates that do not have the necessary skills or knowledge to handle such responsibility.
Most of the vigilante groups are not trained.What they are after is just give us the guns and let us go and practicallize what we have watched in the movies.
Even in my area the vigilante boys dey form James Bond.

Nigerian journalism and bloggers are just cut and paste! one paper has wrongly attributed the guy as MTN staff without confirming and everybody is following suit!

Pls the guy is not an MTN staff, he works with a private Manufacturing firm along apapa oshodi expressway,

RIP akeem!

kid there is time for everything. There are Times for jokes and times for serious issues. You shouldn't crack jokes with issues such as these cos friends and families of the deceased might be anywhere, anytime and some sily comments might hurt there feelings . Your joke would have been more appreciated had it been the thread were a lighter one but this is a case of death and it should not be joked with. Apply caution.

Àbeokuta is the most tolerating city in the state to students.
That they kill students is not true.
