In tears, Ngozi lamented:

“We’ve been married for 11 years. My husband is not a troublesome one. My husband loves me and I love him too. We don’t have, but we are managing. Who is going to help me now?
"They just took my joy away from me. I want them to find the person that killed my husband."

Earlier, the police command in Lagos said that no EndSARS protester was killed in the state, disagreeing with reports that went viral on social media.

This position was put forward by the police commissioner in Lagos, Hakeem Odumosu, during his conversation with protesters most of whom were lawyers on Tuesday, October 13.

Odumosu, rather said that what policemen had done so far is to protect protesters from hoodlums who tried to take advantage of the situation.
