Somebody very closed to me received a call from Ilorin about the killing even before I saw the story on nairaland. I think it is true.

One protester has been
killed as thousands of
Nigerians have
demonstrated against the
removal of a fuel subsidy,
which has led petrol prices
and transport fares to
double.
Officials say the man was killed
by "mob action" in Kwara state,
while witnesses say he was
shot by police as they tried to
disperse protesters.
There were marches in Lagos
and other cities around the
country.
Nigeria is Africa's biggest oil
producer, but imports refined
petrol.
Police fired tear gas at youths
in the commercial capital, Lagos,
after they blocked main roads,
set up burning barricades and
tried to force petrol stations
to close.
However, the BBC's Tomi Oladipo
in the city says the main march
passed off peacefully, with
demonstrators chanting anti-
government slogans.
Analysts say many Nigerians
regard cheap fuel as the only
benefit they get from the
nation's oil wealth.
Nigeria's trade unions have said
they will call a strike and are
meeting on Wednesday to
decide on the plans.
Police block protests

story
Nigeria's fuel prices
Previous price in petrol
stations: $0.40/ litre
New price in petrol stations:
$0.86
Previous black market price:
$0.62
New black market price: $
1.23
Annual cost to government
of subsidy: $8bn
Tuesday is the first working
day since the measures were
announced on 1 January.
The demonstrator was killed in
Kwara's state capital, Ilorin.
There have been protests in
numerous parts of the country,
including Lagos, Ibadan, Lokoja,
Nasarawa and Kano, where
about two dozen people were
arrested as they gathered.
Our reporter in Lagos says the
city is not as busy as it
normally is, with many people
stranded as they cannot afford
the new transport fares after
going away for the holidays.
Police in the capital, Abuja have
blockaded Eagle Square, where
protesters had planned to
gather.
Police fired tear gas to disperse
protesters in Abuja on Monday
On Monday, police fired tear
gas to disperse some 200
people who had gathered in the
capital, chanting: "Remove
corruption, not subsidy."
Prices have increased from 65
naira ($0.40; £0.26) per litre to
at least 140 naira in filling
stations and from 100 naira to
at least 200 on the black
market, where many Nigerians
buy their fuel.
There are reports that petrol
prices have tripled in some
remote areas, while commuters
have complained that
motorcycle and minibus taxi
fares have already doubled or
tripled.
Many Nigerians expect the
prices of other goods to rise as
well.
The government has said it will
spend the money saved by
removing the subsidy on
improving the country's erratic
electricity supply, as well as
health and education.
However, analysts say that
many Nigerians have little faith
that the money will be well
spent and fear it will instead be
stolen by corrupt officials.
In December, the government
released a list of the people
who benefit most from the
subsidy, which include some of
Nigeria's richest people - the
owners of fuel-importing firms.
Years of mismanagement and
corruption mean Nigeria does
not have the capacity to refine
oil into petrol and other fuels.
Several previous governments
have tried to remove the
subsidy but have backed down
in the face of widespread public
protests and reduced it
instead.
The IMF has long urged Nigeria's
government to remove the
subsidy, which costs a reported
$8bn (£5.2bn) a year.

Its absolutely through,one of the protester was killed by the police, I was on my way to Ilorin when our driver was called and informed so he can dodge the area. We eventually passed thru d place and i can vividly see human's blood, Thats the latest news around right now.

@superior1 I know what I'm saying,you where not @ the post office in ilorin,you probably read it on sahara reporters.I'm a 100% in support of civil disobedience over this issues,but when goat-fuckers like choose to use lies to make up stories it pisses mme off

It is true.

People have died today due to protests,ilorin as well but that particular photo is a lie and I stand by it.I've spent over 15 years @ ilorin,I live close to st anthony secondary school so I know what I'm saying.

RIP!! GEJ his blood is in your hand, It suppose to be peaceful demostration. Why the shooting, why the guns,
That is how it all started in Egypt and libya,

Things are not looking good at all.

The bus fares have trippled.I have employers that earn 50K per month,Graduates! and I wonder how they'd survive.
Payrise is NOT even in the picture now cos overhead cost is killing me too.

Which way Nigeria?

May the soul of the dead rest in peace.

Don't waste your lives. Is it not ironic that there is no protest in the oil producing states?
Why should there be protests by receiver states? It doesn't sound right.

That's Ilorin.

Yes Boss:

@poster, we will know the truth about the stroy as from tommorow. If it is true, it will enter one of the national daily if not all.

Has this bas-tard man in black been charged for murder yet?
Mumu doesnt get it yet that he's a pawn.

See what I was talking about.

May his soul RIP.

GEJ,this is your downfall.

chikis:

@poster, we will know the truth about the story as from tomorrow. If it is true, it will enter one of the national daily if not all.

Sorry you're late, its already in most of the dailies on line version, try Punch, the Nation, Dailytimes, Vanguard on line, you will find the information there. I also posted a BBC link to this story. France24, New24 have also carried it haven confirmed the death from Officials of the Kwara State government in the person of the SSG.

Really, the essence of the post is to enlighten everyone that the Nigeria Police elite killer squad is still much alive and we know they have been given marching orders on what to do. So be careful as you go about the Civil disobedience.

yes of course. It is, Imagine people like beaf, hbrednic gloating that others are dying just because they support GEJ

May his soul rest in peace. His blood will not be in vain. let us protest peacefully and demand better governance and accountability. If Nigeria is better, it is not for one section or tribe or religion. let us unite in our demand for good governance sensitive to the people. Government is a trust. Without trust, government is not suppose to exist
