According to a Daily Post report, a woman
complained bitterly after a stray tear gas
canister hit her residence on Saturday during
the Yoruba Nation rally in Ojota, Lagos.
She accused government agents of putting the
lives of civilians in danger.
The resident, who said she has two kids,
wondered how the canister landed in a densely
populated area far away from the protest venue.
“I have kids of 8 and 5 years old. Look at…all
the way from Abiola Garden. I’m a Yoruba lady,
I’m a citizen of this country.
“I did not go to fight at the Yoruba Nation rally, I
did not attend. Why should they come and kill
me? They threw tear gas, it’s even hot”, she
lamented picking it.
“Look at the tear gas that was thrown into my
house. What should we say to this. Is this a
country? This is wickedness.”
The development coincided with the discovery
of the lifeless body of a teenager within the
compound of a building in Ojota. The impact on
the deceased was visible on the right side of her
chest.
Residents gathered and accused the police of
using live bullets to disperse those clamouring
for the exit of Yorubas from Nigeria.
“This is strange to us. Will find out and revert”,
Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi
said.
Despite Police warning, the agitators found their
way to Ojota for the gathering called by Sunday
Igboho.

Security agencies have declared the
secessionist wanted. On Thursday, the
Department of State Services (DSS) advised him
to surrender.
The Ojota rally has been disrupted with Police
firing tear gas and used water cannons. DAILY
POST reported that guns were fired at some
point.

and other areas prone to volatility.
They include Ajah, Abule Egba, Lekki, Agege,
