Armed military officers and members of the Lagos State Police Command’s Rapid Response Squad, RRS, attacked Gani Fawehinmi Park in Ojota, Lagos, on Tuesday morning, as youths planned to protest the murder of Oluwabamise Ayanwola.
On Monday, several youths planned to hold a demonstration in the park on Tuesday, seeking justice for Oluwabamise Ayanwola, a 22-year-old fashion designer who was slain after riding a Lagos Island BRT.
