He was shot in the stomach by DSS in Lekki, when he attempted to bring out his ID card.

Again, Nigeria failed its own. My God!���

He was so full of life �. An amazing soul to the core. He was always smiling �.

I can’t process the fact that I won’t see him ever again.

Living in Nigeria is equivalent to walking on a time bomb set to explode the next minute �.

JusticeForPeter”
