The the death of that innocent girl has led to several calls on social media especially Twitter for the government to checkmate the brutal use of arms by the police in Nigeria.
It’s quite painful that a promising young girl’s life was just cut short like that. Just like that! This one cannot be swept under the carpet. We call on the authorities to investigate and bring to book officer(s) responsible for her death.
