“Also, at this same protest, Abdulrasaq Olawale, Oluwadamilare Gbolohunmi, and five other persons sustained injuries and were taken to hospital for treatment.”
This is coming after the Nigerian Police Force denied shooting at the EndSARS protesters in Ogbomosho.
The police spokesman in Oyo State Olugbenga Fadeyi in a statement issued on Saturday said that the police did not fire a single shot at any protesters.
“The Police did not fire a shot or kill any protester as widely circulated,” Fadeyi said.
He, however, said the police used tear gas to disperse the protesters when “they started throwing stones into the Police premises and attempted to gain entrance into the premises.”
