Odunayo Abolarinwa, a 29-year-old widow, has given details of how a policeman protecting the convoy of a highly-placed person killed her husband during the recently-held EndSARS protest in Ekiti state.
Speaking with The Punch in an interview, the widow narrated that her husband, Olatunde Abolarinwa, was killed on Tuesday, October 20, while coming from his shop.
She described her husband as a gentleman who "hated having issues with others" and added that as a breadwinner of the family, his demise has left a huge vacuum as she is the only one handling the welfare of their "three children."
Abolarinwa further explained that her husband was not among the EndSARS protesters but a gentleman who was coming from his shop when a stray bullet fired by the unnamed policeman clearing road for a VIP hit him.

"He went to work on that fateful day, Tuesday October 20. The incident happened after work. We were together at the shop. After closing for the day, he asked us to go home.
"He said the apprentice should take us home on his motorbike while he would trek home. He was to get a cloth for sewing at a location, that was where he went to. It was while he wanted to cross to the other side of the road that a bullet hit him in the chest."
