Two victims of gunshot incident yesterday protested at the Force Headquarters, demanding that the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, take urgent action against the perpetrators.
The victims, Festus Osaretin and Odion Igbinadolor, carried a banner with pictures showing how one of them was shot in the stomach which exposed his intestines while the second victim was shot in the shoulder leaving him unconscious.
While the two suspects responsible for the crime were arrested and still in detention, a retired senior police officer was alleged to have used his influence to release the suspects.
The two victims matched to the Force Headquarters in a peaceful protest where they submitted a petition to the Inspector General of Police for proper investigation of the crime.
They called on the IG to expedite action on the investigation and ensure that justice is done.
“We call on the IG to take up this case, attend to our petition and ensure that justice is done.
“We want them prosecuted. We want them to face the full wrath of the law”, he said.
