Mother of 20-year-old killed by police cries out for justice


THE family of Ada Ifeanyi, who was allegedly shot dead by some police officers attached to the Trinity Police Station on Akpiri Street, Olodi Apapa, Lagos, has demanded justice for her death. The 20-year-old Ada was, on Saturday, allegedly shot dead by some police officers, while she was returning from a club with her boyfriend, Emmanuel Akomafuwa.




It was gathered that Ada, Emmanuel and one of her friends were accosted by the police personnel on their way back home. Our correspondents learnt that Emmanuel refused to stop his car, because those who asked them to stop were not in uniform and could not be identified as policemen. The cops, who were later identified as Inspector Adamu Usman, Sergeant Adeyeye Adeoye, Sergeant Kashim Tijani, Sergeant Lucky Akigbe and Sergeant Paul Adeoye, reportedly blocked the vehicle and opened fire on Ada and Emmanuel
Ada was shot twice in her stomach by the officers, while Emmanuel was shot in the back of his head. While Ada died on the spot, Emmanuel is currently battling for his life in hospital. According to Punch, Ada’s mother, Mercy John, said her daughter’s blood must not be shed in vain and vowed to seek justice for her.
