Must he shoot" - Full video shows how 14-year-old WAEC student was killed  by a policeman in Ibadan (Watch) | Intel Region

 

The father of the 15-year-old boy shot by police in Ibadan, Oyo State, Odunayo Alade, has gone into hiding, just as he expressed grief and anger over the tragic incident that claimed the life of his son, Kehinde Alade.

This came on a day the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, ordered an investigation into the tragic incident, where life was snuffed out of a teenager, by a bullet from a Police man, in Oyo State.

Recall that a secondary school student, simply identified as Taiwo, was said to have been hit by a stray bullet, allegedly fired by a yet-to-be-identified police officer, during a high-speed chase.

The incident, it was gathered, occurred around Gbagi Market Road in Ibadan, as the officer and the traffic agency officials pursued a fleeing vehicle, suspected to be conveying internet fraudsters, popularly called ‘Yahoo boys’.

The death of the teenager, however, sparked widespread protest in Ibadan.

Recounting the harrowing event, the father of the teenager, Alade, explained why he drove against traffic.

Speaking, when newsmen visited his house, he said: “I take them to school every day and then, in the afternoon, if I am chanced, I pick them cack home. There were about five children in the car. While some were going to the Olatundun area, others were going to Olabidan. When I came out of the house, I needed to pump the tyre at a junction close by. As the vulcaniser finished, I entered the car to move and, as I moved, I saw a car moving towards me. I did not know it belonged to the Oyo State Traffic Management Authority.

“As soon as I saw them, I moved, but they tried stopping me and, in the process, they hit my car. I, thereafter, put the car in reverse to bypass them, but I did not know four vehicles were chasing me.

“As their towing vehicle hit my car, I manoeuvred and escaped; but the next thing I heard was a gunshot. My son was shouting ‘Daddy, daddy’ in the back seat, but I tried to caution him to keep quiet, as we had left the scene. Unknown to me, the stray bullet hit the boy. It was his twin brother who said: ‘Daddy, stop, Taiwo has been shot’.

 

“As I parked to bring the boy out, the policemen and officials of the Oyo State Traffic Management Authority were running after me.
“In the process, I held onto one of them. People gathered and rushed the boy to the hospital, and, from there, he was taken to UCH. Unfortunately, when we got there, he gave up the ghost.”

When asked whether he was a suspect, the father said: “No.”

He, however, explained that “one of the officials opened the back door and saw that they were kids in the vehicle. I didn’t know they were chasing after Yahoo boys or not. I was just taking my children to school.

“It was his elder brother that was writing his WAEC, the one that was shot was in SS1 and would have been 14 by November 26,” he lamented.
