The deceased has since been buried in his hometown in Mubi Local Government Area of Adamawa State, same with Aiyedungbe Olufunmi Grace, whose brother died at LASUTH after suffering gunshot wounds to the head.

Grace told The Nation that after her brother’s death, the hospital authorities 'changed the story' and said he died of COVID-19.

The Nigerian Army has denied allegations that it shot at peaceful protesters, saying it merely fired blanks into the air to disperse stone-throwers.
