MORE TRAGEDY

TEARS, SORROW AS SALES GIRL DIES FROM GUNSHOT

Everyday you go out, pray to God that he protects your going out and coming in because the evil that lurks, is just beyond human understanding. Pray against false accusations, pray against Boko Haram attacks, pray against stray bullets from police, just pray!

If anyone had told Lucy, a 20-year old sales girl in the Apo area of Abuja that she would die from a stray bullet shot to her chest, she’d quickly forbid it and make a sign of the cross probably. But that’s exactly what happened on Friday when she was shot dead by policemen. The girl was hit in the chest by bullets fired into a photography shop where she worked as a sales girl.




Three other people sustained gunshot injuries when policemen from the FCT Police Command fired bullets indiscriminately in an attempt to enforce the demolition order of the Abuja Metropolitan Management Council.
The policemen had stormed the area around 7 am with officials of Development Control Department, who had come to demolish illegal structures.
But residents and indigenes, who felt that the government had no right to demolish their houses when they were yet to be resettled, resisted the operation.
