Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has ordered a probe of the death of a girl hit by a bullet during the Yoruba Nation Mega rally at Ojota on Saturday.

Moyosore Onigbanjo, Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice made the announcement Sunday night.

The Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) conveyed the condolence of the state government to the family.

He said, “The Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu has ordered a thorough investigation of the death. A Coroner’s Inquest has immediately been requested.”

Onigbanjo said the investigation is in line with sections 14 and 15 of the Coroners’ Systems Law, Laws of Lagos State 2015, to determine the cause and circumstances of death.

Section 14(1) (d) states that death can be subject to post-mortem examination where there is reasonable cause to believe that the cause was violent, unnatural or suspicious.
