Tension arises when one of Hon. Gbajabiamila’s security aide allegedly shoots newspaper vendor on a major road in Abuja

According to PUNCH reports, a trigger-happy security aide allegedly shot Ifeanyi Okereke when himself and a group of other newspapers vendors surrounded Hon. Gbajabiamila’s convoy to beg him for money. The group of vendors were said to have surrounded the politician’s convoy because he regularly gives them money whenever he is around that area. Unfortunately, one of his security aides seems to be “out of touch” with his gun on November 19 when he suddenly pulled the trigger and killed one of the poor vendors without any reasonable excuse.

Below is the viral Twitter video showing moments after one of Hon. Gbajabiamila’s security aides shot Ifeanyi Okereke.

However, as of the time of writing this report, many newspapers vendors in Abuja have begun protesting on the main roads and demanding that the trigger-happy security operative must be investigated and dealt with accordingly. Similarly, the aggrieved vendors are also calling on the right authorities to ensure that proper justice is being served as regards this alleged “cold-blooded” murder case.
