He's in a better position to answer that question but he can't now because he's dead.

Other people you saw destroying those Banks are also people's cousins, brothers, uncle, fathers inlaws etc. So what's the relevance of this your question.

Modified : His friends said they were not even actively participating in the violent protest. They were just passers-by who happened to be in the crossfire..

It could be a lie or not. Nobody knows anymore than the dead 19 year old Osamuyi.

Usually, the way these things happen is that it is passersby that get hit by stray Bullets during such incidents. That is why elsewhere, water cannons are used to avoid killing people who may turn out to be innocent.

His cousin may or may not have been part of the rampaging boys but there’s no way to know that for sure now since he is gone.

Exactly. People that are actively involved in the protest hardly get hit by stray bullets...

By the way how can a police restrain protesters with real bullets.
Re: Commercial Banks In Benin City Were Destroyed Yesterday by Timoleon(m): 9:52am On Feb 16, 2023
The relevance is that vandalism is a crime. It’s always best to stay away from criminals. When people send broadcasts like “them Dey riot for so so place, avoid that area until peace is restored”, e get why.

I am not happy with the way this policy he been handled but I will not be in the midst of people causing mayhem in the name of protests.

As you said though, only he could have explained properly but o ti lo.

Those were not protesters. Those were people trying to break into a bank as evidenced by the pictures with parts of the banks destroyed and exposed. That’s not how to protest!

You people think we Nigerians are more violent than the the average white people but that's a lie.

If those people went through half of what we go through in this Nation they would do worse.

Y'all saw what happened with Capitol building in the US during pro Trump protest.

E reach my side sef. But I no go join anybody to go destroy other people business because say I Dey protest. If to say Na cbn office then attack sef, I for no worry. But attacking private entities that are as stressed as you are is not a way to protest. The query these banks have received from their customers within the last few weeks have been exponential. They’ve had to work overtime even with minimal resources so e Dey reach them too. Some people would have to lose their jobs for all the vandalism that happened. This won’t be a Buhari problem but problems for private citizens when have also been victims of the same policy you are protesting. People must learn to channel their protests to the adequate quarters. Also people must know to differentiate protesting from criminal behaviors like vandalism and looting!

Who are you people? Who bring the idea of white people into the discussion? You. Even in the USA, people die during protests. It happpens. It does not excuse wreckless and criminal behavior.

Why are banks hoarding the new naira notes from the owners and only selling to POS operators?

Some are asserting Buhari decisions is as if he will join PDP immediately when he is done for as president.
As an economist Emefiele feels cashless policy is more valuable than the loss of lives and properties.
He won't dare walk the length of that street without his security details attached to him.

Wake up Nigerians, no politician can save Nigeria. Only revolution that will lead to restructuring and decentralisation of power can save Nigeria.

Tinubu and his APC supporters are bent on destroying this country.
