WE WANT JUSTICE, BABALOLA FAMILY CRIES OUT

Following the tragic death of Babalola Felix, The Babalola Family met held a meeting which had Barrister Kehinde representing Femi Falana's Chamber and a group of young people who represent an advocacy group in attendace.

The family reintereted their interest in getting justice for Babalola Felix who was chased to death by Civil Defence officials led by  Inspector Oladele Orijah

The family said the late Felix is basically the bread winner of the family despite the meagre he gets from the recharge cards business he does.

Tha family claimed that his inability to secure a job was part of the cause of his death, because a gainfully employed young man wouldn't have been chased like a mad man let alone chased  to death by cruel Civil Defence officials. The family used the opportunity to plead with government at all level to tackle the issue of unemployment.

Young people present at the meeting agreed that justice must be done, Babalola Felix is not an animal that should be killed like an animal by power drunk NDCDC officials and the story will just end like that. The youths want justice and we will not settle for anything less than justice, a youth present at the meeting said. Security Officials that have been empowered to protect our lives and property should not be the architect of our deaths.
