The newspaper vendor, Ifeanyi Elechi who was reportedly shot dead by security aide attached to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila on Thursday was to name his new born baby Friday.
Recall that the newspaper vendor who died along the Federal Secretariat road, Abuja following bullet wounds he reportedly sustained from the gun-shots by Gbajabiamila’s aide had billed his new born child’s naming ceremony for today, Friday.
“We were even preparing for his child’s ceremony before Gbajabiamila security killed him. We have plans to protest on Friday to let government know that this is a serious matter,” one of Ifeanyi’s friends said.

However, Rt Hon Gbajabiamila in his reaction, said he is terribly distraught about the shocking incident while extending his heart-felt condolences to the victim’s family, and Abuja vendors.
The vendor said; “A horrible incident has taken place. This evening as I left the national assembly, I stopped as usual to exchange pleasantries with the newspaper vendors at the corner. Many of them have known me since I first moved to Abuja and it was a friendly exchange.
“Unfortunately, after the convoy set out in continuation of movement, unidentified men obstructed the convoy which got the attention of security men in the convoy who shot into the air to disperse them.
“Some hours later, after getting to our destination, it was brought to my attention that someone was hit by a stray bullet, contrary to an earlier report by men in the convoy that they applied their security discretion to shoot in the air.
“I am personally distraught about this incident and my deepest sympathies go to the victim, his family and Abuja vendors”.
