The Commonwealth Youth Council (CYC) has condemned the shooting to death of 22 year old student Umar Ali-Dodo in Katsina allegedly by a soldier at a military checkpoint.
A statement issued by the Chairperson of the Commonwealth Youth Council Ahmed Adamu yesterday expressed concern over the “loss of lives of young people” describing it as “completely avoi-dable.”
Last Thursday, Umar, who was a student of the Hassan Usman Katsina Polytechnic, Katsina fell to the bullet of a soldier when the driver of a vehicle carrying him tried to overtake a truck at the checkpoint along Katsina-Dustin-Ma road, Batagarawa local government area.
The Youth Council demands an investigation of the incident and for justice to be done.
“The security personnel are supposed to protect lives and properties of all citizens. It is against humanity to shoot against unarmed civilian. The soldiers at the check point would have identified the car and its registration number, or pursue the vehicle instead of firing a gun shot,” Adamu said in the statement. - See more at: http://commonwealthyouthcouncil.org/commonwealth-youth-council-condemn-killing-of-student-in-katsina-nigeria/#sthash.3AjzOoL4.dpuf
