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.
