Ifeoluwa Oyeleke, the mother of 14-year-old girl, Jumoke Monsurat Oyeleke, who was killed during the Yoruba Nation rally in Lagos on Saturday, says that up until now, she has yet to see the corpse of her child, Newspremises reports.

She alleged that when she and her brother visited the Police Station where her corpse was believed to have been taken, the policemen on duty threatened to shoot her and her brother on the legs if they didn’t leave immediately.

She added that the policemen also threatened to fire a teargas canister at them. She, however, did not state which Police Station they had visited.

The distraught mother-of-four also disclosed that the victim was her first child.

Jumoke’s body was found sprawled on the ground in a pool of blood, with her stomach ripped apart. This was shortly after policemen had opened fire to disperse those at the rally who were agitating for a separate nation for the Yoruba nation.

The police have, however, denied playing any part in Jumoke’s death, saying that the blood found around her corpse was dry, and that it was an indication that the body was not fresh.

When The PUNCH visited the mother of the deceased girl on Sunday evening, she was barely audible as she narrated her relationship with her late daughter and other issues surrounding their family.

When she found the courage to speak, Ifeoluwa said, “I got a call while I was in Ikeja where I had gone to work.

“When I asked to know what it was about, I was told that there was no issue but that my presence was needed at home.

“It was when I got home that I learnt of what had happened. I was told that the bullet shot by the police killed my daughter.”

Ifeoluwa stated that she had yet to see the corpse of her daughter since she got the news of her death yesterday.

“They’ve not released her corpse to us. I and my brother, under last night’s rain, got there, but were not allowed in. We heard them saying that if we stayed too long, they will shoot our legs and fire a teargas canister at us.

“After a while, my brother discussed with them and they allowed us in to see their Area Commander who said he heard that shots were fired but that he didn’t know which station the officers behind it came from. “

“He said this could be determined when the extracted bullet is examined.”

When asked if the police had told her anything about her daughter’s corpse, she said no, adding that she didn’t know where they took it to.

She stated that she would love to have a lawyer who would help her seek justice concerning the death of her daughter.

Speaking further, Ifeoluwa revealed that Jumoke was an apprentice at an ice cream shop and had just concluded Junior Secondary School education.

“She usually sat in the shop and never hawked.

“She had three siblings who are all girls. Her dad is dead,” she said; adding, “Jumoke was a good girl who hardly got annoyed; she was hard working.

“Anyone who can rise to our defence should please do,” she pleaded.

Gov. Sanwo olu have not come out to make any statement concerning the killing of that innocent girl, Anytime LAGOS state police hear that some people want to do peaceful rally or protest they will rush come out with a show of force to impress their oga in Lagos see the way your people just put that innocent woman into everlasting pain and agony So the question I want to ask Lagos State police commissioner now is that after killing that innocent girl now Wetin be your gain?

So they now want to extract the bullet from the girls body but initially denied killing her, saying it was a stabbed wound, what our police cannot do, does not exist.

I .

Nigerian security network needs restructuring ASAP!!!

I don't know if they go through due process before enrolling an individual as an officer of the law.

Too many blood suckers lately

Nigerian police that can make an elephant admit to the crimes of a cat will rather cover it up. Pathetic.

I thought the same police denied shooting anyone at the rally, claiming the said girl was stabbed? You see why I don't pity these bastards in uniforms when boys reprise and start killing them?
