It was a black Friday for the people of sawmill garage and Opeyemi area of Ilorin yesterday evening at about 6:45pm following several gunshots released in the air by some offers which sends fear to the minds of the residents of the area.
It was said by a lady who gave us her name as kafayat, that a little fight happened between an okada man and a police officer(mopol) which the okada man beats the officer in the process, kafayat said in revenge the officer went ahead to get his gun, and while trying to shoot his target, a kid got shot in the process which aroused the anger in the hoodlums of sawmill garage and they tried to collect the gun from him then afterwards got him killed while beating him.
The affected child was said to have been taken to the hospital but health status unknown yet, the colleagues of the officer were said to have came around releasing several gunshots in the air, which sends many closing their shops and some closing their homes door, some also running for their dear lives.
The corpse of the officer had been taken away by his colleagues after some shootings and disturbances sending fears into the residents said kafayat, even some pedestrians were arrested and taken away innocently and that was when everyone started running because the officers were just packing anyone they see with thorough beating said an okada man who gave us his name as lamidi.
We don't know what next now and I don't even think am coming to shop tomorrow likewise everyone else because we know this military people, when things like this happens, the innocents will be the ones to suffer the loss said a trader. Last week Friday also, we experienced some sort of shootings around this same area, at first we thought it's all this cult guys but till now we don't know who and where the shots came from said an okada man.
We are yet to receive any updates at the area today because everything seems to be under control.
