A student of the Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo in Ondo State, named Ademola Alayori, has tragically passed away after reportedly being fatally shot by members of the Ondo State Security Network Agency, popularly known as Amotekun.

Ademola, in a voice note recorded before his demise, recounted that the incident occurred on the night of July 4. He mentioned that he was at home, having just finished a meal and about to drink water when he observed his brother, who works as an apprentice at a barbing salon, returning home. He narrated that a group of men forcefully entered their residence, ignoring his inquiries and instructing everyone there to leave. During this process, Ademola claimed he was shot.

He further described being dragged to the Amotekun office, where he was detained with a dog that licked the blood from his wounds. He added that he was later transferred to the Federal Medical Center in Owo, where an operation was performed due to the deterioration of his condition. Tragically, he passed away in the hospital.
