Just got this mail from a LIB reader who was an eye witness to this police brutality. According to the guy who sent in the report and photos, the young man you see above was allegedly shot in the chest at 10:52 this morning
around Ilupeju Byepass in
Ilupeju by policemen from the
Ilupeju Police Station who were chasing him and trying to seize his Okada.
The Okada guy was trying to escape arrest when one of the policemen chasing him shot him in the chest. After the shooting, the policemen entered their van and sped off. Passersby then
rushed the young man to Teju Hospital which is just adjacent to the where the incident happened. The okada man is presently receiving treatment at the hospital!

GODKNOWS,
GIVEN THE BAN ON OKADA FASHOLA HAS DEMONSTRATED THAT OPPERSSION IS PART OF OUR CULTURAL HERITAGE
RIP, RIP, RIP.
THE EVIL MEN DO.......
Thank God the bike man made. Crazy policemen.
Merciful Lord! Why do we have animals clothed in uniforms? No matter what, he didn't deserve to be shot. I wonder where this country is heading to.
I pray he survives and may the Good Lord deal with whoever did this to this poor man.
Quite pathetic,those meant to defend lives now destroy lives. The number of people managing Lagos traffic outweighs d number of Bikes and Cars plying d route.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA3310
Hope he is not dead? I tot d police is suppose †☺ b our frend, why all dis unneccessary killing. May God help us in dis country and save dis young man.
Only in naija does this type of rubbish happen..But when they see robbers they won't remember how to shoot.
Most of the okada riders are lawless. When laws are made, people should obey them. I don't care if they shoot all of them that disobey the law.
This is part of why Nigeria is in this state today. Laws are made and nobody obeys them. Until people start seeing the need for law and order in society, Nigeria will not progress. Laws should also apply to the corrupt thieves that were or are still in power. They should all be shot for plunging this country into its current bleak state.
I am sick and tired of things not working in this country!! Its only here you will see an idiotic okada rider driving on the wrong side of the road without any fear whatsoever.
This is another one of police brutalities of innocent citizens of this nation Nigeria.
Linda, please trigger a viral protest on social media against POLICE BRUTALITY. If we all dont stand up against this, it may happen to us. Remember the Akpabio brothers who were senseless murdered right infront of their own mother. Remember the young just-married gentleman who was senselessly shot at close range for no reason. Remember our citizens who returned back home to see their beloved families, upon sighting foreign currencies & articles in their luggages the police took them to a near-by bush, shot them & robbed them. Nigerians, ARISE O COMPATRIOTS!
One Day bush meat go catch the hunter.
This has been going on of lastly even around Ikeja record 2 killings now.i just hear Police shotting in Ilupeju @1.30pm around Access bank area now.
Abeg, make dem collect GUNS from police men in 9ja oooo. Dem no sabi use am at all.
I just wonder why they do not loose it on those stealing politicians.
I pray this does not die sha.
it is well ooooooooo
The police man should be sentenced 2 death by hanging.
What's really going on with these Nigerian police men bikonu?eh?killing and fighting people back and forth!this is getting really crazy o!hia!
Police still on rampage right now.
Linda this Okada issue is really getting out of hands oh! Ahn...ahn...what if this guy doesn't survive this? A lot of people have been killed this way...Governor Fashola should please do something about this and he should do it fast! Because people are suffering for this. I think a line should be drawn as per the penalty for riding a commercial bike on a prohibited road. People are dying and injustice is happening to the people and I expect this is where the government should come in and protect the people who elected them into office!!!!
I drove past this place this morning. It happend just by the traffic light, before 1st bank/teju hospital. There were so many police men trying to ensure there was no rioting.
Na wa o, shooting to collect okada ehn?
I hope the guy doesn't die o.
Okada riders, please stick to your assigned routes. These policemen are hungry for money and blood.
right now, the result of the shooting is serious mayhem all around ilupeju. touts from everywhere came out trying to fight the policemen especially those that av designated points they stay. its bin crazy.
Police brutality has to stop really.
People are wicked, the ordinary Nigerian on the street is treated like an animal .. Shot at will by the policemen and intimidated by anybody in uniform .. Fashola has spoilt his good works in the past now its just intimidation e where

Thank God he survived. We need jobs in Nigeria. Some years back,i took a bike to work and on that day the 'Okada' rider happened to be a graduate and was pleading with me to accept and help him submit his CV. I thought he was joking until he handed me his CV with some copies of his credentials. He had them in a bag and said he carries them around with him hoping that someday a job would pull through. I almost wept that day and resolved to stop bitching about my job/Boss. Hell,i was fresh from school, well paid and sheltered.But as a human being i was no better than him. Got to learn that there were many like him riding Okada for a hussle. Please Mr president and all who can...,build industries,Manufacturing,infrastructure,whatever. Give Nigerians Jobs and stop putting peoples lives on the line. Like i said we are no better than them[okada riders]. Jesse'
Linda, its been crazy, riot everywhere. it happened right in front of my office,infact i cant believe i am a witness to this cos my mind won't go off this. The police were not remorseful @ all..What a country. The govt ambulance came to for the guy,they've left Teju Hospital but rioting on..
Police brutality has got to stop.
PLS! MEN FROM THAT AREA SHOULD CONFIRM THIS!
Instead of writing okada guys, tickets,they r now killing and stripping them naked, is this how fashola wants to be remembered. I was even thinking fashola hv a chance at the presidency. Too bad all his great job this is what he's going to be remembered for
Its a shame for fashola to end his term on this note
I taya for this country sef...y cnt pple obey a simple law? We all knw our policemen will use this opportunity to do wateva so y nt stay safe n obey d rule
This is so bad, this Okada issue will surely cause serious wahala.
Tolu, you are rite, we all have to stay indoors, the riot is hot, police shooting sporadically and tear gas every where...please use another route.
So is he dead? But wait oh Linda do u ve to show us his pic?the sight of him is too gory*cnt watch* Nigeria police are the most useless in the world wot a shame,thank God I'm not a Nigerian,dis cnt happen in Ghana.
Gov Fashola is making life difficult for pple,doing good tin at wrong time there suppose to be a plan not just to implement law without plan
The day Lagos State will be set on fire. It may burn the chief security officer of the State too-The Governor Fashola. The other day Police were seen striping Okada rider naked. Today a rider was shot in the chest by trigger happy cop. It may have fail an innocent man or woman going on his own business. Please let the Governor made a statement where Okada man should fly and where not.
Please Enough is Enough, except we want this State to burn one day.
A similar story occured at oregun, ikeja 3 weeks ago, the police were chasing an okada rider who was also trying to evade arrest when a policeman open d front door for d okada man to block him, the okada rider hit d front door and died instantly. The policemen took his body leaving the okada man's bike there.
EEoooooooo..ds young man tryx to find wht he'd eat!! did they have to shoot even if he was wrong! ds policemen are not trained at all! what is ds now????? policemen dnt even work around here with taser guns(a weapon that fires electrical probes that give an electric shock) not to talk of real guns!!! WHAT IS ALL DIS?
Linda I heard this same kinda story on Radio this morning and it was reported to have happened yesterday or is this another scenario?
Hmmmmm, anoda xtra judicial killin by d police...thou am a soldier...lol...may d soul of d dead rest in perfect peace.(Clear road 4 aba boi)
What's up with these black agents? I hope they find them and put them behind bars...but we know Nigeria now.Meanwhile, I hope uncle Fash will put a leash on them and there is no other way to do than to lift the ban on bikes o.
The guy finally died and the whole of ilupeju is boiling at the moment. Nigerian police are fools iswear.
Same thing almost happened around alakara police station, mushin rd dis morning. An okada trying to avoid arrest was almost shot. U need to see d way police men brandish guns at okada men just bc they want to seize their okada. The ones they are able to hold, they beat like armed robbers. This is on fashola. Police dnt have any other job but to pursue and arrest okada now.. So sad! Dnt knw were this country is rily going. God help us
Fashola is a big fool
Fashola if u re tired u step down instead of slaughtering poor & innocent people
This is not just fair.fashola shld do something about this police men shooting okada riders.don't they have other jobs to do rather than wasting bullet on innocent souls.
Just drove thru Ilupeju. Thot armed robbers had operated there.
Burning tyres, overturned traffic warden posts and debris covered the roads around Ilupeju Byepass, Coker Rd and Tinubu Rd.
Later saw 4 truck loads and 3 motorbikes of cops; all armed to the teeth. Thot they were brave men chasing robbers. So the suwegbes were simply out on the prowl looking for the Okada men that rioted???
We are damaged goods in this country
This is not fair at all.govt fashola should do somrthing fast.
How can you be chasing someone and still shoot him in the chest?
Moreover, it looks like the person standing over the guy in the pic are dressed in police uniform so did they really run away?
So they shot the guy and ran and the other okada men did not go ape shit on the area??
This story get k leg joor. I will wait for the final, true version.
Yea, it happened right in front of our office! The guy died about 2hrs later!
The Government of the day has failed. Its sad that our so called leaders have soldout, we don't have anything to show for all our years of democracy, instead these civilian devils have ruined the little we have built. Our schools are under funded, our youths have no jobs, our roads are death traps, our hospital s don't work, no security, no power, everybody has lost faith in the system except the Corrupt fools who have dubiously rigged themselves into power. As a nation Nigeria has lost morals, her citizens have no respect whatsoever for human life. Its sad that we still see ourselves as giant of Africa. We have failed to uplift the heritage our founding fathers left . We have failed our brothers and sisters . Its a shame to call myself a Nigeria, when all I see is wickedness In the heart if my fellow compatriots. I hate to call myself a Nigerian when all I see is innocent and helpless victims of an unfavorable system. Lagos is gradually falling into the hands of tugs and scallywags who go arround destroying human lives and properties. Its a shame that fashola has lost the love we lagosians once had for him

police men know how to show power to un armed men, cowards, they can not face terrorist of the state nor boko harams, just cowards, i hate them with passion.......smh, my friend and i jst came into town one fateful day, we were at the back seat of the taxi gisting, unkown to us, the driver almst took one way turn, while we were bust cursing the driver for such attempt, the police men came and held us at ransom seeing that our booth had klm band on the luggage, obviously stating that we jst arrived, and these bloody police men wldnt want us to go oh, how was it our fault, instead of holding the driver who was driving, faced us and asked us to follow them to the station, crap nonsense and we were there speaking English, i was just tired of the whole thing eh, words failed and because they were with guns, we had to maintain and follow them only to find out, money was their problem, corrupt bunch of idiots.....they simply do not know were their limitation are, if not for the guns they carry about...they wld be seriously dealt with, nonsense
GODKNOWS,
CORRECTION
WISHING HIM SOONEST RECOVERY AND GOD'S GUIDANCE
Thank God he didn't die. But I don't understand how they can shoot him in the chest from the back. all d same thank God for his life, cos in d end, that is all that matters.
how can they be chasing him and shoot him in the chest. was he facing them and riding his bike backwards. lets get the facts right
I use to remember the statement of old"POLICE IS UR FRIEND" that was then or never, because the police that i know are criminals themselves. Police are now riding okada everywhere even the one that cannot aford a bycicle. Why wont they shoot a biker just to get the bike but this to large extent the result of fashola insanity. i praise him b4 but i repent and call him a monster. the BRT bussiness has colapse incase he fashola is not aware. the law of karma. You cant distroy other pple means of livelyhood just to promote yours. i wait to see pple throw bomb in this lagos.

Heard he died before getting treatment,RIP.
They have told the police to stop the road blocks,since when did this become their job ? To be shooting Okada riders? Since when,Fashola is a very stupid man,some of these riders have no job,this is what they use to survive,its not fair at all,we complaining of alot of bad things recently,this will cause more harm than good
It happened just outside my office.
The gate man was watching them when it all started, he said the police man was harassing the guy for money/his bike and before he knew it he heard a shot d guy was on the floor. He was about to flee when the other police men gathered tried to retrieve the gun from him, he then shot one of them and ran off. The others got in their van took the wounded cop away n left the okada man to bleed just outside my office building.
The amazing thing is how people just stood their and watched him bleed to death and did nothing when there was a hospital next door.smh. They chose to chase down the police vehicle.
I came down n saw a man in intense pain with blood all over shirt. so sad.
I don't know anything about his condition as he has since been transferred from Teju Hospital(last i heard)
God will punished their them
Just to collect the bike they went and kill and innocent man who is just struggling to survi with his family God what kind of wickedness is this
Are you law abiding? Hypocrite like you.its people like you that is spoiling this country.looking for cheap popularity.
Who is ur friend,naija police??? If u meet criminals and police @ same time,choose criminals oh,u re more likely to survive them than police. Horrible ppl in police,they will kill u and drop weapons near u to call u an armed robber. God forbid for npf,suuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!
They re worse than armed robbers,they can't be ur friend just as satan can't be ur friend.
I hope d okada man survives,may God save dis country .
Hmmm, miss or mr anon! Duh can you read?. He is not dead , please don't kill him oh, get well soon brother ! He that kill by sword.........
Linda....hmmmmm! I was an eye witness. It happened right in front of me. I cldnt wait to hear d report if d guy is still alive or not as I took to my hills to avoid stray bullet. May God's anger and wratch kom upon dat crazy policeman and his other colleagues. It was a terrible sight to behold. I screamed as d policeman shot d man @ close range just because he refused him collecting his okada.
I learnt the guy is dead!!
Nigeria info culled this from you and have confirmed the guy later died... sad indeed!
@ jaja...no say wetin u no know. I was dere. I was @ dat very place while it happened. D bike guy had a passenger behind him. The passenger is a guy wearing blue polo. As he got to d junction where d policemen were,they pulled his bike while on motion from behind and as he was struggling and trying to escape,he fell down and d passenger quickly jumped up and stood by d side. The bike guy tried raising his bike again and tried standing up and suddenly another policeman ran towards him and shot him @ a very close range and the bike guy fell down and his helmet fell off.Other bike guys were not there as they were all running from passing through that route. It was passersby that started screaming,you have killed him,you musnt go. That's when they took to there hills and ran into their van and people ran after them but ddnt catch up with them as they were driving. It was after that passersby carried the guy and rushed him to a nearby hospital and I took to my hills. That's exactly what happened.
First of all. May GOD heal the okada man. Why is it that Nigeria police always take laws into their hand? If they see armd robbers they can't do anything. If they see people who are struggling for a daily bread... They will be shooting at them. No wonder the Nigeria police always suffer... dey forget say government work na shoulder den dey put ham. If is here in Europe the policeman will go in for this... Just carry gun dey shoot ordinary man. They never see boko haram make dem go fight dem. malumalu....
That's right...
So he deserves to be shot abi!!!
Guns r given2 ppl who respect human lives nat criminals who don't av regards for human lives. Indeed fashola wil rest now. Apparently pple dint learn frm ALUU4. Such a shame one wld waste anoda life cos of sme stupid reasons. Anarchy_ nig police ; hw mch lives and properties can u protect? How av u proven d police is ur frend.. Abi its frenemy.
FloberRy
Aka flowyzE
Nigerian Police are supposed to be protecting lives, but they are muderer in security gadget outfit disguise!!!!

This is really sad... but it has nothing to do with the Okada ban... this is purely irresponsibility on the part of the police men. its unfortunate. Okada should be banned along with keke. we were surviving in lagos before okada and keke and we will definitely survive after them!!!
Your sense of judgement is so wrong! If people disobey the law they should be tried in court, sent to jail or pay a fine! Where on earth are the armed forces allowed to open fire on civillians becos they broke the law???? Hypocrite indeed...
like ild always say>>"The streets is military" U better be a soldier
Na waoo Nija..una jst dey add una own coin, it happened in front of our ofc, aw many of una dey wrk for der..It happened in front of my own ofc for real but i cant tell d story d only tin we peeped to see was d man woo was rushed into Teju wit the help of my colleague who has d mind. But all this adding up tales..let us jst shut up and pray 4 Nija..Infact na my colleague and i immediately send pix to Linda sef
If na boko haram pesin now, they go run away... Police are just a reflection of the society... We have no value for life!!!!
