An unidentified policeman has shot dead an #EndSARS protester in Ogbomoso, Oyo State late Saturday morning.
A police team monitoring the protest was said to have used live rounds to disperse the teeming protesters during which the young man, who has not been identified, was hit in the stomach.
Videos of the incident circulating on social media show the swinging lifeless body of the victim being held up by other protesters.
It could not be immediately confirmed if the victim was a student of Ladoke Akintola University of Science and Technology (LAUTECH), where the protest held, although a narrator of one of the circulating videos confirmed that he was.
The Oyo State Police Command has yet to confirm the killing.
