A
team of senseless police officers have brutally gunned down two youths
from Kogi State protesting after Fulani Herdsmen who invaded their farms
alleged that their cows were missing.
Two protesting youths from Umomi community in the Ofu Local
Government Area of Kogi State were on Wednesday shot dead after some
policemen attached to the Ugwolawo division opened fire on a crowd of
protesting youths.
At the end of the commotion, Okaye Omodi and Zekeri Mohammed, were
gunned down by the trigger-happy police officers who immediately fled to
their station.
In a Punch report,
the youths were protesting the arrest and detention of some residents,
including a retired police officer identified as Peter Adama. Adama and
others were arrested around 11pm on Tuesday by some officers attached to
the Special Anti-Robbery Squad.
Revealing what led to the murder of the two men, a resident,
Jeremiah Idege, said the operatives swooped on the community after some
Fulani herdsmen reported that their cows had been killed by some
residents. Idege claimed that the allegation was false, saying that the
herdsmen had actually invaded and destroyed the community’s farmland.
