Olufunmilayo Ayedungbe, sister to a young man said to have been shot during the Lekki, Lagos #ENDSARS protest, Gbenga Ayedungbe, has spoken on the circumstances of his death.
There have been questions over the absence of anyone coming forward to claim that he lost loved ones as the military insist it did not kill protesters while quelling the riot.
Olufunmilayo’s claim however insisted at a session on ‘Arise TV’, saying: “I am speaking on behalf of my brother Aiyedungbe Gabriel Ayoola. He was shot in the head. We were actually looking for him because he doesn’t stay with us so it was like two days before he passed on that somebody sent this(a message) to me on whatsapp. They wrote it there that he is at LASUTH and that they are looking for his family. So we went to LASUTH.
“They said he was unconscious for like two weeks. By the time we got there, he had opened his eyes and he was moving his hands but he couldn’t talk. They were feeding him through his nose. There was sore all over his body because they did not turn him for a long time. I think he did not get medical attention. That was what led to his death eventually.”
