Femi Falana, (SAN), human rights lawyer, has condemned the killing of a teenage trader by bullets reportedly fired by a security agent dispersing Yoruba Nation demonstrators in the Ojota area of Lagos state, describing it as a case of premeditated murder, Newspremises reports.

Falana also called on the Lagos State Government to conduct a coroner’s inquest into the murder of the girl.

Addressing the incident on Saturday, Falana noted that while the police violated Section 83 (4) of the Police Establishment Act 2020 which borders on the provision of adequate security by the security agency for citizens on peaceful rallies and protests, the denial by the Lagos State Police Command was a ploy to shield the killer from prosecution.

The senior lawyer said, “The police violated Section 83 (4) of the Police Establishment Act 2020 which has imposed a legal obligation on the police to provide adequate security for citizens who embark on peaceful rallies and protests. Since the police had illegally dispersed the peaceful rally with cannisters of teargas, the shooting of the 14-year-old trader by the police was premeditated murder.

“The denial of the cold murder of the trader by the police is a diversionary ploy to shield the actual culprit from prosecution. In view of the hasty denial of the police in the dastardly act, we call on the Lagos State Government to ensure that a coroner’s inquest is conducted into the reckless killing of the teenager.”

What are you even saying?
Because he defended Buhari he should not speak up when something bad happens.


Enough of all these "he supported Buhari, he defended Buhari" talks.
Because you supported some one at a certain point in life doesn't mean you can't chastise them when they do wrong or you can't speak up against them when they go haywire like Buhari is going now.

Hate him or love him Falana is a human right activist and he has done a lot for many people and antagonize this evil Buhari's government more than those that didn't "support" or "defend" Buhari.
