Nigerians seek justice for 16-year-old Tina gunned down by Trigger-happy police

Nigerians have taken to Twitter to seek justice for 16-year-old Tina who was shot dead at Iyana-Oworo bus stop on Wednesday, May 27.

According to reports, the trigger-happy policeman was trying to arrest a bus driver for violating the curfew rules. In the process, he allegedly shot the bus conductor dead as well as young Tina.

Police Spokesperson, Bala Elkana said that the erring officer has been arrested and detained at the Police Headquarters in Lagos. He assured Nigerians of justice.

Nonetheless, several Nigerians have taken to Twitter to express their grievance towards the Nigerian police.
