His words: ”On January 9, 2014 at 12.20 a.m, hoodlums numbering over a 100 were heard by residents of Baboko area of Ilorin shouting “kill them and destroy them,” firing gun shots indiscriminately and before the arrival of policemen, cars, houses and property yet to be evaluated were destroyed.
“One Babtunde Sulaiman, male, 18 years, died as a result of the injuries he sustained in the course of the fracas.
