He filmed Abiodun Bolarinwa shooting at protesters in Abule Egba. Someone tell me why this man still walks free?

No arrest. No prosecution.
Nothing at all.
The journalist who covered the event however got arrested by Lagos TaskForce and he’s dead today.
His name is Pelumi Onifade.

When we mention the names of those we lost in the struggle for a better Nigeria, Pelumi Onifade will be up there with the likes of Jimoh.
