Pandemonium broke out as the slain student was coming out of her school premises when a stray bullet from the operatives chasing someone hit her.

A report reaching this newspaper indicates that security operatives attached to the special security outfits, OP MESA in Ogun, allegedly shot dead a female student of Unity High School in Ago Ika area of Abeokuta, Ogun state, sparking riots in the area.

According to the report, the victim identified as Sadiat was allegedly shot dead by the operatives who were chasing suspected internet fraudsters, popularly known as ‘yahoo boys.’
