| Dan Kakai in hospital after being shot |
Dan Kakai, a secondary school student shot during anti-Finance Bill 2024 protests, has succumbed to his injuries. Dan Kakai said he was going to the barber when he was shot from the back. The Form Two student from Siritanyi Secondary School was reportedly shot by the police on Tuesday, June 25. According to Ikuweikuwe Updates, the young man was an orphan living with his grandmother, identified as Mama Sammy. How was Kakai shot The young lad revealed that he was going to the barber during the protests when he felt he had been shot from the back. Kakai claimed the police officers left him writhing in pain, and it took the help of a man he only knew as Edu to reach the hospital. He appealed for justice, calling on the government to act on the rogue police officers who shot him in the abdomen. “I was coming from school and heading to get a haircut. When I reached the top near the post office, I felt a bullet hit me in the back. When I looked, a police officer had shot me; I don’t even know how I ended up in the hospital. They hurt me and just left me there. A Good Samaritan named Edu came and took me to the hospital, where I was treated. That’s why I am here now. I want those who did this to face justice. They did not do the right thing. We were not being provocative. I was just minding my own business,” he struggled to say in an interview.
