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.
