According to Daily Trust, the SS 2 student identified simply as Sadiat was mistakenly shot by the operatives who were chasing a suspected internet fraudster, popularly known as “yahoo boy".

It was gathered that Sadiat and others were walking out of the school premises after close of school for the day, when a bullet fired by the security operatives mistakenly hit her in the head.

The student, said to be the only daughter of her mother, was confirmed d3ad at the Federal Medical Center (FMC), Idi Aba, Abeokuta, where she was rushed to for treatment, while three other students and a commercial motorcyclist were also reportedly hit by the stray bullets fired by the operatives.

Angered by the development, the victim’s colleagues stormed the Enu-Gada Police station in Ago Ika area of Abeokuta in protest.

The students were said to have pelted police operatives on duty with stones and other harmful objects, forcing the officers to disperse them.

An SS 1 student of the school, Rafiu Ibrahim, alleged that the security operatives shot directly at the students without regards for their safety, even when it was obvious that they were all in school uniform, emerging from the school premises.

Spokesperson of the State Police Command, Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the incident, but added that he was not aware of the death of any student.

Oyeyemi said the security operatives were not chasing any “Yahoo-yahoo” but, a notorious cultist, who had for a long time, been on the wanted list of the police.

He added that a Police Inspector was macheted on the head during the crisis.

Security Operatives who are suppose to be protecting the citizens are the ones killing the citizens...............

We know that you are all useless, why causing more wahala in the country

The shooter must pay for his crime, they must have been taught methods of military engagement and it's expected for them to apply, why kill an innocent and tag it misfire. Let him pay for his crime.

It seems the police are even worse than the criminals they're supposed to curb.

Security operatives that can't save themselves from bandits are killing harmless civilians

What kind of country in this? Firing a bullet on innocent children. How can right security agent muzzle a gun at harmless person? This country is a shame.

.

This is too bad. My condolence goes to the parent of the deceased. May the Almighty console them and give them the fortitude to bear this irredeemable loss.
May we never be in the right place at the wrong time.

Our security operatives are careless and useless.

These guys are getting notorious everyday, they were stopping different cars few days ago looking for yahoo guys to extort lol. Another Endsars protest in the making.
