The killing at Rukpokwu was not a stray bullet. It was a direct shot in the head of a Keke rider that refused to part with N100. #EndSARS was barely 7wks ago & here we are. @MBuhari asked people not to protest but how do you stop this anger. @PoliceNG

Police just killed a keke napep guy today at Rukpokwu (Mgbuchi) in Port Harcourt, and he ran away.
Please when will this stop?, when will the police stop killing us instead of protecting us?, if people should protest or retaliate now, Buhari will be disgusted. This is tiring tbh— Uncle AJ (@UNCLE_AJALA) December 10, 2020

KanyiDaily recalls that a 27-year-old Nigerian woman, Felicia Nkemakolam Okpara, had recently narrated how she was forced to remove her bra publicly in the police station, and an officer kept “flogging” her with his gun.
