A human right activist,identified simply as Skido, who spoke with Crime Guard, said  attempts by a soldier to rush Mubarak for medical aid was rebuffed.

According to Skido, “The bullet hit Mubarak in  front of Command Secondary School.  One of the soldiers guarding the school tried to save him but the policemen threatened to shoot him if he did.   The gunshot tore  Mubarak’s stomach open while  other people sustained varying degrees of  injuries.

I heard that the Divisional Police Officer  in charge of Meiran Police Station, called Mubarak’s father and told him to go to the mortuary to collect the remains of his son for burial. He told him that after the burial , he (bereaved father) should come for negotiations. When the grieving father refused to go, the DPO started threatening him and his wife.

All the family wants is for  the policeman that killed its son  to be punished. We have also sent a petition to the Lagos State Police Command on our demand for  justice for late  Mubarak.”

He also called on the  State government to come to the aid of the bereaved couple by ensuring they got justice.

When contacted, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer Mr. Adekunle Ajisebutu, a Chief Superintendent of Police  said the matter had been transferred to the State Criminal Intelligence and Investigation Department SCIID, Yaba, Lagos.

He assured that the command would make a public statement at the end of its investigation into the tragic end of Mubarak.
