\Police officers attached to the Panti Division on Friday night allegedly shot and killed an 18-year-old lady, Monsurat Ojuade, during a raid in Surulere, Lagos.
Oluwatosin Ojuade, the elder sister of the deceased, told Premium times on Sunday that Miss Ojuade, a fashion designer, was shot inside their compound in Mogaji, Surulere, one month after her 18th birthday.
The incident left her parents and three siblings shocked as residents gathered in circles discussing the matter.
The elder sister said the deceased was about to lock her mother’s shop outside the compound when she saw people running.
“She ran inside the compound with my other sibling, Laide; my mother was washing clothes when they ran in,” she said.“My mother tried to shut the gate but a policeman was dragging it with her, then she heard the gunshot, she didn’t even know that it had hit someone. She opened the gate to know who shot the bullet and she said she saw the policeman going, she saw the back view.
“Immediately the gunshot hit her on the leg, she (Monsurat) shouted, so my immediate younger sister (Laide) held her and ran back to my mummy that Monsurat has been hit, there was blood on the ground. The bullet passed through her two thighs,” she said.
