FIJ
On December 30, 2022, a group of security agents code-named Amotekun stormed a neigbouring community around 4:30 am in the Apata area of Ibadan.
FIJ learnt the security men had visited the apartment on the pretext of chasing some armed robbers who fled Ijebu and had taken that housing structure as a refuge.
Upon hearing gunshots, Olayinka Aguda, generally referred to as Bobola, one of the occupants, fled for dear life thinking it was armed robbers.
Aguda was living together with his four friends, who were arrested, while he was shot dead with the belief that he was one of the actual sought-after armed robbers.
WAKING UP TO GUNSHOTS
Zusk, commonly called being a musician, who identified as Aguda’s brother, has called out the Oyo State Government on his Twitter handle @zuks2dbeng.
On Monday, 72 hours after Aguda’s disappearance, Zusk said, “My brother was at his home when Amotekun came to his neighborhood with the information that there was a robbery going on.”
“They approached his house and started shooting, scaring those who were asleep.”
He added that Aguda had fled “on waking up to gunshots in front of the house, thinking armed robbers were at the gate”.
He said Aguda “jumped the fence to hide in a nearby school, and it was there that the Amotekun started pursuing them, firing multiple gunshots. Aguda’s four friends were arrested and detained at Eleyele Police Station in Ibadan”.
“According to people living around,” he said, “Amotekun came to the nearby school to pick up a corpse. The people said Amotekun told them they had killed one armed robber, and ever since, they (Amotekun) have refused to provide the corpse.”
