Politician who shot protesters in Abulegba alleged to be Abiodun Bolarinwa

In a shocking video that went viral earlier today, October 20, a Nigerian politician riding a black SUV was seen stepping out of his vehicle with a gun and shooting several times at #ENDSARS protesters at the Abulegba area of Lagos.

It was alleged the man had sought the audience of the protesters but they refused to listen to him on discovering he was a politician.

Out of annoyance, the man stopped his car and came down with a gun and began shooting at the unarmed protesters.

At least three people were reported to have been injured in the process and are currently fighting for their lives.

The man in the video is alleged to be Comrade Abiodun Bolarinwa, President of the Yoruba Youth Forum (YYF).
