The Presidency has expressed its deep sadness over the killing of Kolade Johnson by operatives of the Nigerian police force, SARS.

Deepest condolences to the family and friends of Kolade Johnson, a victim of the March 31 fatal shooting in Lagos. @PoliceNG have assured that the Team suspected of involvement in the shooting have been apprehended & are undergoing disciplinary procedure. Updates will be provided,

the tweet read.
In reaction to the sad story, President of the Nigerian Senate, Bukola Saraki, says that the 8th Senate remains committed to the Police Reform Bill.

My heartfelt prayers are with the family and friends of Kolade Johnson, the young football fan who was allegedly killed by men of the Nigerian Police in Mangoro/Onipetesi community in Lagos.

The Senate President said,
Issues like the senseless killings, assault, and extortion of everyday Nigerians by some ‘bad apples’ in the Police Force is what prompted @NGRSenate to introduce and fast-track the progression of the #PoliceReformBill.

I have also been in contact with the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Police Affairs and I am pleased to announce that the Report of the #PoliceReformBill will be laid by next week Tuesday.

Make no mistake, the 8th Senate remains committed to the passage of the #PoliceReformBill to ensure that our Police Force is more efficient and responsive to the needs of all Nigerians.

Recall that Kolade Johnson was reportedly shot accidentally by SARS officers who had been after another man at the football viewing center.

Reports suggest that Kolade Johnson was hit by a stray bullet when SARS officers tried to disperse a crowd during an operation to arrest another man...https://tarajmediahub.com/kolade-johnson-vs-sars-presidency-senate-to-take-actions
