Abuja Council Demands Justice After Staff Member Shot Dead at Wuse II

The Abuja Municipal Area Council mourns the tragic killing of its Mobile Advert Permit officer, Oladipupo Akinola. He was shot at point-blank range during a routine enforcement operation on April 24, 2026, at NITEL Junction, Wuse II. Witnesses say a Hilux carrying a Chinese national was intercepted for having expired paperwork. Two men dressed in NSCDC uniforms then opened fire, killed the officer, hijacked the vehicle, and fled the scene. The council is calling on the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps to confirm whether these men were genuine officers or impostors. A formal complaint has been filed at the Zone 3 Police Station, and a full criminal investigation is demanded. The council extends heartfelt condolences to Mr. Akinola’s family and vows that no one is above the law. Justice must be swift, transparent, and serve as a deterrent.
