The Ondo State High Court in Akure has ordered the state government to pay N30 million in compensation to a commercial motorcyclist who lost his leg to a gunshot by the state’s security network agency code-named Amotekun.
The motorcyclist, Oluwarotimi Oluwasegun, said in his suit that Amotekun men shot him in the Araromi area of Akure, the Ondo State capital, on 9 August 2021, leading to the amputation of his left leg about a month after.
Determined to get justice, Mr Oluwasegun, 36, through his lawyer, Tope Temokun, sued the Ondo State Government at the High Court.
