Fish seller killed during Lekki robbery attack buried (photos)

15-year-old basic three pupil, Sarah Ibikunle, pictured left who was shot dead during the armed robbery incident that happened in Lekki Phase 1 on March 12th, has been buried. She was buried at Ikoyi Cemetry on Monday March 22nd.

Family members, her teachers and her classmates who gathered to bury her spoke of how she dreamt of becoming a Lawyer. Her class teacher, Mr Adebayo Moses told Punch “She was quite brilliant; not troublesome, accommodating and friendly. Her death is very painful.”

The matron of the school, Mrs. Dorcas Ogundare, also spoke glowingly about her “The last day she was in school, she came a bit late and I joked with her that she would wash toilets. She just smiled and I told her to rush to the class. She was a child to all of us and had a bright future,” she said.

  41. may her soul rest in perfect peace,Amen.May God console her parent too. but i think she deserves better casket to convey her body, at least both Gov Fashola and the main cause of the incident, president Jonathan could have seen to that, his government is so partial and bloody.

  62. That is just one of the innocent soul taking away under jonathan government. Jonathan represent agent of death as he has scored unbeatable mark in death rate under 5 years of presidency. Giving him another 4 years will be total disaster.
