Tears as Ademola killed by killer-DPO Segun Fabunmi is buried...

Abiodun Ademola, the 26-year-old youth shot by the killer Divisional Police Officer a.k.a Segun Fabunmi of Pen Cinema, Lagos, on January 9, during the
protest against fuel subsidy removal, was on Wednesday buried at Atan Cemetery, Yaba.

Before the burial, there was a lying-in-state at Yaya Abatan, Ogba, at the exact spot where Ademola was shot by Segun Fabunmi.

The community erupted in an emotional welcome as his body arrived in a white casket. Youths who had gathered in black T-shirts wailed while the Ademola’s siblings sobbed inconsolably.

At the graveside, some youths rained curses on the alleged killer DPO and called on the government to ensure that justice was done.

A pastor, Wole Oluwatobi, described the slain youth as a martyr. He said, “A monument will be unveiled in his name today (Wednesday). Though he neither had no child nor a wife, he would always be remembered in this community.

A bust erected in the deceased’s name at Yaya Abatan Junction unveiled bears the inscription: “Goodnight Ademola. A patriot brutally murdered by a trigger-happy policeman during the fuel subsidy removal crisis on Monday, January 9, 2012. Sleep on beloved.”

Rest in Peace Ademola!
