I think he's paying for the consequences of having an overzealous security escort and orderly!

Until these VIPS begin to caution the excess of their escorts, they should be ready to bear the consequences of their actions..

Amarisco:


I’m in 2 minds. What I consider is that when people are killed due to negligence, error malpractice etc., You don’t hear families of the deceased petitioning for a pay out, but for an enquiry. The payout is done hush hush and somewhat automatically.

And when a civilian is murdered/shot, likewise, you hear the families seeking justice, not money.
Settlements are often done off record and out of public domain where possible.

Perhaps the issue is they shouldn’t even need to ask and have felt sidelined/belittled, or maybe even insulted by the original offer which is quite shameful on GBA’s side. He should know the appropriate measures to take.

On the other hand you wonder, is money the answer to grief? Does a recently bereaved person immediate take up a fight for money? Feels a bit uncouth.

It’s already public knowledge so what’s in it for GBA to pay? Not like they will sign any disclosure to prevent his image from tarnishing. And if it’s a case for the FGN, then payouts definitely won’t make a difference.

Just unsure

I don't understand people, is it Gbajabiamila that that killed the man? It is now a sin he visited the family? God have mercy.

Can you just imagine profiting from the death of their son

I had to consult my dictionary to see if there is a new meaning to magnanimity. For you eh, when your security operative kills a man, while on duty, howbeit unjustly, and you reach out to the family, then you are being generous abi??
that's slave mentality bro!! its a responsibility/an obligation, not a favour.

Even when plane crash happens, the airline pays victims families huge sums of money. It's not out of order to ask for money from him, because the security man is his responsibility and there is no other way he can compensate them. abi he give them another son and father??

I will ignore your second paragraph, because if I want to address it, I go chop ban. Nonsense and gbajabiamila!

Alxmyr:
Hmmm. If the father of the deceased can afford the service of Mike Ozekhome, what was the son doing selling newspapers on the streets then?

I knew these people will take gbajabiamila magnanimity and friendly disposition towards this issue as cowardice and will want to milk this situation financially

Mike is just a nuisance looking for how to get at an APC leader

500mill kwa.. although that can't return the guy's live but that's too much .. money isn't giving freely like that not even in Freetown .. if una over do una fit no receive kobo at the end of the day

You are right on. I am not a lawyer but I think a competent lawyer would have done things behind the scene instead of advertising it in the open. The fact that your child was just killed in the hand of people that suppose to protect him bring you goodwill but when the first thing was to be asking for money you loose goodwill. Courtesy and good manner require Femi Gbaja.. to pay visit and empathized with the family but no law require him to do anything. They have shut down anything the speaker could have done out of the generosity of his heart and turn it into an adversarial relationship when they engaged a PDP lawyer to demand money from him. If they had work behind the scene with independent or APC lawyer they would have had Gbaja in their corner demanding higher compensation for them from the federal government who is the actual employer of the culprit.

As for those saying #500M is too much, there is no amount of money that can buy human life. The man was a newspaper vendor today he could become a LG chairman tomorrow or be the father of Nigeria future president or the grand father to America future president.

A case they can’t win against Gbaja, they should rather sue the DSS guy

It is a pity most people do not know their rights in Nigeria. Ordinary 500million naira and people sre saying the family is greedy. Lol. They have not even asked enough. Just imagine the comments up here. You can see that most Nigerian are under bondage,.yet they do not know. If Gbajamila himself is shot dead, how much will his family ask? So,.going to see the family of the deceased is an act of kindness. Chai! Nigerians have being turned to zombies. What a pity.
