A KAI official (Kick Against Indiscipline ), Moshood Ayeni, lost his life after angry hawkers who reacted to the arrest of their mates Jeremiah Nnana and Orich Nwofokoh who displayed their wares in traffic, stoned the deceased and his team at Iyana-Oworo area of Lagos.

In the press statement released by the agency’s spokesperson, Alabi Rahmat, it was gathered that the mob pelted the KAI official vehicle with stones, one of which hit the deceased and fell him from the moving vehicle.

“The enforcement officials were returning from an assignment when they saw the traders and tried to do their jobs. They saw the traders hawking in traffic by Car Wash and arrested Jeremiah Nnana and Orich Nwofokoh both selling sausage and phone accessories.
The suspects were taken into the agency’s vehicle marked KRD643DS. Suddenly their colleagues, who had escaped came back and pelted the officials with stones. The hawkers started shouting and calling the KAI officials thief.
The stones thrown by the rampaging hawkers hit the victim on his head inside the vehicle and he fell down and became unconscious” she said.

She further disclosed that the victim was rushed to the state’s emergency centre, where he was referred to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) but was pronounced dead on arrival.

According to The Nation, KAI’s Marshal General, Jimoh Amusat, also condemned the act, noting that the deceased was only doing his lawful duty.

choiiiiiiiii

God

RIP to the dead



Those people though, they sabi collect bribe!

Always intimidating frustrated citizens.

RIP bro.

These street trader that sells stuff in traffic are always ready to cause havoc, LASG should arrest them all and jail them. Most of them have weapons and they rob at nights.

I was driving on Ozumba Mbadiwe one hot afternoon, this angry looking street hawker intentionally hit my side view mirror and i pulled over to teach him a lesson. To my surprise the guy didn't feel sorry and was ready to fight me , the moment i saw his fellows drawing close i just drove off.

They are very mean.

The man allowed the already frustrated people to vent their anger on him. RIP though

TheArticleNG:

Is it cool to you that he's dead?

someone that left his house for work this morning...dear God on that day thet we will leave our various houses for work and never return,let one bad running stomach just abort our movement like unwanted pregnancy for that day like it did today for me.
i know some people will not say amen.

Those KAI official dey do over sabi most times

Those hawkers can be a nuisance but can also be a life saver when you are sitting inside Lagos traffic for two hours with hunger biting out your stomach lines.



The culprits should be arrested and punishment meted to them. Never you cause acts to endanger another person life

i don't know afonja people too can be violent in nature..

Why is KAI not arresting agberos..... buh street hawkers?? because of wetin dem go chop ba....

If Lagos no favour you go back to your village and start farming.

Not where you wud be suffering in Lagos day in day out running up nd down from kai nd d rest hawking shit.

I pray make then allow ds Igbo get dr biafra.... so dt they will leave Nigeria for us. awon oloripelebe oshi

See what the bitter recession has caused , for the hawkers it is now a do or die affair unlike during the prosperous past when they would allow people take away thier wares just like that

Awolowo shildren and wickedness. TUFIAKWA

mayday mayday there is a dimwit above me.

See response. Smh. So he deserved to die because of his "over sabi". Nigerians really deserve each other. Even monkeys and apes behave better than they do. What a people.

Firgemachar:
