Public Reactions on X

The video has sparked a significant public outcry, with many taking to X to express their anger and demand justice.

Abba Hikima;

"I just watched a disturbing video clip showing a police officer shooting a defenseless, unarmed youth in Azare. Preliminary inquiry confirms the incident. Whoever is in charge must urgently call off the security operatives & put an end to this nonsense."

Smallcap:
"@officialABAT STOP KILLING NIGERIANS!!!! @amnesty @hrw @UNHumanRights @fidh_en @IntlCrimCourt @Global_Witness Tinubu, the president of Nigeria is killing Nigerians!!! This is for your records."

Papi:
"???????? he died for simply being a Nigerian"

Super Negro ???????? (@L0nnewolf):
"What happened to those military guys who said they will be in the background watching and fighting low key?"

Eyewitness Account

In contrast to the widespread belief that the video shows a police officer shooting a protestor, an X user who claims to be an eyewitness offered a different perspective.

Abbati Auwal:
"Wallahi Barr it's not true! I'm an eye witness. The guy stole some property whilst protesting, they collected the items and hit him with canes. That shot is for his Phone! They shotted the phone on the ground not him. And they're not police! They're ALI KWARA'S boys. Thank you."

The conflicting accounts have added to the controversy and confusion surrounding the incident. While many are calling for immediate action and justice, the eyewitness's claim that the shooter was not a police officer but part of a vigilante group known as Ali Kwara's boys introduces a new angle to the story.
