Tension in Ondo Community After Youth Leader Killed in NSCDC Clash
Tension has gripped Bature community in Ondo State after the alleged killing of a youth leader, Faturoti Eric, during an altercation with personnel from the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
The incident reportedly occurred during a raid by NSCDC officers attempting to make an unlawful arrest. Community members resisted, leading to the officers opening fire, resulting in Eric’s death.
A statement by a community leader, Sekoni, called for justice and urged Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa to intervene. They warned of potential protests if no action is taken.
The NSCDC, however, denied wrongdoing, claiming their officers were attacked while trying to apprehend illegal miners and acted in self-defense. NSCDC spokesperson Daniel Aidamenbor promised further details after an investigation.
