The shooting incident at the convocation ceremony of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, has taken a new turn as Rep. Ayodeji Alao-Akala (APC-Oyo) has submitted a petition to the House of Representatives Committee on Public Petition, demanding justice for the alleged police killing of Iyanda Damilola, a serving member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) [8b6fc0f5].
According to the petitioner, neither himself, his late brother, nor any of his invited guests were cultists, contrary to the allegations made by the police. The petitioner, who was hit by a stray bullet on his left arm and is currently receiving treatment, called on the House to ensure that the officers allegedly responsible for the killing face the full wrath of the law. He also requested an investigation into the entire monitoring force in Ogbomoso for bullying and harassing students [8b6fc0f5].
The LAUTECH shooting incident, which resulted in the death of Iyanda Damilola, has sparked outrage and calls for justice. The House of Representatives Committee on Public Petition is expected to investigate the matter and take appropriate action to ensure that those responsible for the killing are held accountable [8b6fc0f5].
In a separate incident in Lagos, commercial motorcycle operators, commonly known as Okada riders, have attacked and killed an official of the Lagos State Task Force during an illegal duty.

Two police officers attached to the Task Force have been arrested and are facing disciplinary action. The police are conducting investigations to identify, arrest, and prosecute the perpetrators of the attack [6a98c73a].
