The residents of Iyana Oworo, Lagos State are not backing down, they are demanding justice for the death of Tina Ezekwe, an open trial for the culprits and justice for other victims of police brutality, bribery, harassment, misconduct and oppression.
Tina, a 16-year-old girl was shot by a triggered policeman along Iyana Oworo, on Monday. According to reports, the policeman was trying to arrest a bus driver for violating the nationwide curfew. In the process, he shot the bus conductor dead and also ended the life of young Tina.

To further drive home their point, a peaceful demonstration, #JusticeForTina, will be carried out on Thursday, June 3, 2020, and the meet point is at Iyana Oworo, the exact point Tina got shot.
