“The police tried to take the body away but the people refused with force. People are crying. A woman said she ate with him last night as he was preparing for the exams.
“It is not clear why the Amotekun guy shot him. Maybe it was an accidental discharge, we don’t know.”
A resident of the area who confirmed the incident said hoodlums had blocked some of the roads leading to the area.
He said, “We woke up this morning to see hoodlums taking over our area. It started from the Celestial Church at the Mokola roundabout. But as of 8am this morning, the police have chased them away.
“But we can see some of them regrouping to cause mayhem. We are calling on the government to come to our rescue before it leads to another crisis.”
