Commercial Motorbike Rider’s Leg Amputated After Being Shot By Amotekun Corps, Abandoned In Hospital; Victim Sues Ondo Government, Others For N100MillionThis was stated in a letter of complaint written by the victim’s lawyer, Tope Temokun Esq, to the security operatives.
“In the course of his business, he brought a passenger to Araromi, Akure and while he was making efforts to look for smaller naira denominations to give to the passenger who paid him with a 500 naira note, an Amotekun Corps pickup van drove in, swerved towards where he parked his motorcycle by the roadside and some uniformed Amotekun officers disembarked from the vehicle and started firing gunshots in the air which caused fears amongst those around and caused people to start running.
“The following day, he was informed that the medical workers at FMC, Owo had gone on strike, leaving no one to care for our client's torn flesh, torn muscles, and broken bones, and unfortunately, the Amotekun officers who brought him to the hospital never returned after August 9th, 2021 to follow up on Oluwasegun’s situation.”
It was learnt that Oluwasegun has two children in primary school and the incident has rendered him incapable of providing for his family's needs.Hence, he filed a suit at the High Court to compel Ondo State Government, Ondo State Attorney-General and Amotekun security outfit to jointly pay him the sum of N100 million to cover both the general and special damages he suffered because of the incident.
Mr Omolafe said this in a letter addressed to Olwasegun’s lawyer, stating that he was to be arraigned immediately in court for aiding the escape of the main suspects and impeding the course of justice, in addition to being a key member of the gang.
Shot by amotekun? Are you sure, or shot by fulani herdsmen?
A man’s leg is worth more than 100m especially if it’s Naira. Give the man a billion ASAP.
