A woman complained bitterly after a stray tear gas canister hit her residence on Saturday during the Yoruba Nation rally in Ojota, Lagos.

She accused government agents of putting the lives of civilians in danger.

The resident, who said she has two kids, wondered how the canister landed in a densely populated area far away from the protest venue.

“I have kids of 8 and 5 years old. Look at…all the way from Abiola Garden. I’m a Yoruba lady, I’m a citizen of this country.

“I did not go to fight at the Yoruba Nation rally, I did not attend. Why should they come and kill me? They threw tear gas, it’s even hot”, she lamented picking it.

“Look at the tear gas that was thrown into my house. What should we say to this. Is this a country? This is wickedness.”

The development coincided with the discovery of the lifeless body of a teenager within the compound of a building in Ojota. The impact on the deceased was visible on the right side of her chest.

Residents gathered and accused the police of using live bullets to disperse those clamouring for the exit of Yorubas from Nigeria.

“This is strange to us. Will find out and revert”, Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi said.

Despite Police warning, the agitators found their way to Ojota for the gathering called by Sunday Igboho.

Security agencies have declared the secessionist wanted. On Thursday, the Department of State Services (DSS) advised him to surrender.

The Ojota rally has been disrupted with Police firing tear gas and used water cannons. DAILY POST reported that guns were fired at some point.

Nigerian forces have taken over Ojota, environs, and other areas prone to volatility.

They include Ajah, Abule Egba, Lekki, Agege, Ikeja, Maryland, Berger, Obalende, Yaba, Oshodi, Ogba and Lagos Island.

We apologize madam for allowing a canister to land in a gutter in your compound.

You know in a scenario like this, the shooter cannot start calculating the projectile of the canister. So kindly bear with us while we try as much as possible to restore order especially in a volatile situation like this and our experience from Endsars

That being said, what was dished to El-zackzaky of the North was dished to Nnamdi Kanu of the East, and same should be served to Igboho of the West.
There must be balance

Why that man japa as camera reach him side?

Oh God of creation,
Direct our noble course,
Guide our leaders right,"

"HELP OUR YOUTHS THE TRUTH TO KNOW"

by truth, I mean for all of us to know that Nigeria cannot be saved.. the best solution is divide peacefully..

by leaders I mean people like Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho

And by noble course I mean the secession movement

That canister was not from the Police it was Odua ralliers that fired the canister, since the unfortunate force claim an innocent girl hustling for her family to feed was not shot with a bullet but stabbed with a knife.

Whoever pull the shot will mourn too, whoever sanction it won't escape sorrow.


Oloriburuku people

Untrained and barbaric security forces. Simple thing like a peaceful protest they still don't know how to manage. Why shooting teargas and live bullets at peaceful protesters? This is totally uncalled for.

Me that if I happen to just be in a camera, I'll compose myself no matter the fuming. People dey try sha.
