The Kwara State Commissioner of Police (CP), Victor Olaiya, has explained how a 15-year-old girl, Mariam Zarumi, who was selling bread was shot dead during a robbery around the Oja Oba Roundabout.
Speaking in Ilọrin, Mr Olaiya said two suspects, Azeez Shola Lawal (Efo) and Ismail Musa (Ostence), were arrested on the strength of a complaint by Mrs Kehinde Abdulquadri Sarumi, the deceased’s mother.
He said, “While the mother was at the Oja-Oba Roundabout selling bread at her stand with her children, a group of people with masks attacked them and started shooting sporadically.
“As a result, two of her children were touched: Mariam Abdullahi Sarumi (15) died on the spot, while Abdularaheem Abdulahi Sarumi (six) sustained bullet injuries on the right hand and chest.”
