The daughter of the woman allegedly shot dead by a policeman attached to the Isheri Osun Police Division in Lagos, while returning from a church programme (read here and here) is seeking justice for her dead mum.

Recounting the incident, 9-year-old blessing said: “All we want is justice for my family. I want  government to take care of my family. My father is not working anymore since the incident, as he is  still undergoing treatment at the  Lagos State University Teaching Hospital”.

We were all in the Keke Marwa when we heard the gunshot.  Immediately, my mummy fell down, she fell on Elijah. She could not move. Blood was all over her . Elijah was crying from where he was trapped under her. My daddy was shouting: ‘They have killed me ooo’. But nobody came to help us. Everybody ran away .

My elder sister, Mary, was screaming, calling for help. I was the only one that went and held one of the policemen by the trouser. I was shouting at the top of my voice that ‘you people have killed my mummy. Come and take my mummy to the hospital’. Later some policemen came and brought Elijah out of my mummy’s grip. His body was covered with blood.
