Three people have died in the Akatsi South Municipality as a result of a police operation to maintain sanity in Aktasi.
A police riot vehicle is said to have slammed into three teenagers on a motorcycle, killing one of them. This occurred amid a high-speed chase by the police, who suspected them of being the perpetrators of a recent heist.
During a conflict between the youth and the police on Sunday, Hamza Adamu was also said to have been slain by live bullets fired by police weapons.
The teenagers were believed to have gone on the rampage in protest at the police's suspected involvement in the death of the young guy the day before.
Last but not least, Etornam Avulekpe was laid to rest.
According to Selorm Ameza, a Facebook user, the police gave the three men a vigorous chase on Saturday, April 9, 2022, since they were suspected of being involved in a recent heist.
The boys sped away, believing they were being pursued for an overloading offense.
"The Police drove into the three lads on a motorbike with their Riot Control Van," according to the Facebook user. They literally slammed the guys on the motorcycle into the guard reels that were used to block the side of the road with their van."
When called, the police acknowledged the occurrence, stating that "personnel are on the ground to restore order." Details will be sent to you as soon as possible."
