Description


According to Amnesty International: "On 6 August 2008, Femi Enyi (not his real name), a commercial driver, was shot without prior warning by a police officer working as a security guard at a branch of UBA Bank in Lagos. Femi Enyi was shot while he was arguing with another driver. Both drivers were unarmed. Femi Enyi’s wife and brother arrived at the scene and saw he was losing blood and was in pain. They told Amnesty international that the police did not allow them to come near the wounded man and refused to allow him to be taken to hospital. He later died." [+]
