300 Level Law Student of Unilag Shot!

                                           

                             Mr Ola Fowowe a 300 level Law student in the University of Lagos was shot on Friday the 12th of April around the Abule-Oja axis of Akoka. According to him at about 10:17 pm he saw a crowd of people running like mad men chasing nothing only to discover that it was the Police men conducting a raid. In a twinkle of an eye a Police man held him and he tried to explain that he was a student on his way to his house close by. The Policeman refused to listen and gave him a hot slap and another man from a group who were not dressed in Police uniform struck him with a cutlass and ordered him to lie down. He refused and he was marched towards some other people where they forcefully made him to lie down. Before he could say Jack Robinson he heard a deafening sound  very close to his ear only to discover that he had been shot on the right shoulder and blood started gushing profusely. Nevertheless the police still moved him and other people that they apprehended to Alade Police station in Somolu. On getting to the station,  the Policemen decided to take him to the hospital along with two other people who suffered minor bruises from the effect of the gunshot, but the nurses on duty refused to attend to them and referred them to the National Orthopaedic Hospital in Igbobi. The police officers then took them back to the Police station in other to inform the DPO of the current situation. The DPO ordered that they be taken to Igbobi but they refused to issue any police statement until calls were made to the Commissioner of Police.

Ola is in a stable condition now but the bullet is still lodged in his right arm and the police are still yet to claim responsibility for this dastard  act. Thanks to the Unilag Dean of Student Affairs, Prof Olukayode Ammund who has offset his medical expenses in the hospital. Let us wish Ola speedy recovery as he will be spending the next 5 weeks in the Hospital. I therefore plead with  the Inspector General of Police to look into the matter and fish out those responsible for this act and award exemplary damages to Ola.
