#EndSARS: How thugs killed my brother — Sibling of late product designer

The brother of Oke Obi-Enadhuze, a graphic designer who created a blood bank app, has narrated how Oke was killed during the #EndSARS protest on Wednesday, October 20.

Oke was killed by a stray bullet during a clash between policemen and thugs who burned down the Makinde Police Station in the Oshodi area of Lagos State.

But Daniel,Oke’s brother, in a series of tweets, said that that his brother was not killed by a stray bullet but was stabbed by the thugs that had attacked the police station.

He explained that their family lived in the police barracks beside Makinde Police Station.

The deceased’s brother said policemen had tried to ward off the hoodlums but after hours of an intense gun battle, the policemen were overwhelmed and the police station was set on fire.

Not done, the thugs stormed the police barracks, looting homes and attacking people.

Daniel said when they arrived at his home, his brother tried to protect them but he was stabbed in the neck by the thugs.

Tweeting with his handle, @DanielOE16, he stated, “I, my brother and mother lived at Makinde police barracks, Mafoluku, Oshodi, Lagos State. Today at about 11 o’clock in the morning, the police station at Makinde was attacked by thugs who wanted to destroy the station, I, my mum and brother were holed up in our house.

“The attack went on for hours before the thugs eventually breached the police and proceeded to set the station on fire, after accomplishing this, they set their sights to the barracks and began the assault, they proceeded to destroy every car in the barracks, my mum’s two cars were destroyed and set on fire and then they infiltrated our house by breaking the door.
