On Monday Morning, tragedy struck at a peaceful rally in Ojota, a suburb of Lagos, Nigeria, as police reportedly killed two Yoruba Nation agitators.
The rally, which was organized by the Yoruba Nation group, was intended to be a peaceful gathering to advocate for the rights and autonomy of the Yoruba people.
However, reports state that tensions escalated between the agitators and the police, leading to the shooting of the two individuals.
The identities of the victims have not yet been released, and it is unclear what sparked the altercation between the two parties.
However, eyewitnesses claim that the police arrived the scene and shot teargas to disperse the crowd, resulting in the deaths of the agitators.
The Yoruba Nation group has released a statement condemning the violence and calling for an investigation into the incident.
They assert that the rally was a peaceful demonstration and that the use of lethal force was unwarranted.
The Nigerian police have yet to release a statement on the incident, and it remains unclear what actions will be taken in response.
However, the incident has sparked outrage and protests from members of the Yoruba Nation and other advocacy groups, who are calling for justice for the victims and for an end to police brutality.
This tragedy serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for justice and equality in Nigeria, and the need for peaceful resolution and dialogue in addressing these issues.
Our thoughts and condolences go out to the families of the victims and all those affected by this tragedy.
