FAMILY of one of the victims killed last Saturday at a police check-point in Lagos, Mr. Nnamdi Okwuyasi Obeya, have tentatively fixed Friday, June 28, for his burial. The development came as colleagues of another victim, Morakinyo Akerele, at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) where he was a second year Chemical Engineering student, asked for payment of a hefty compensation by the Federal Government, to families of the two killed at the check-point.
The late Mr. Obeya was a student of Informatics Computer College, Yaba.

A mourning grandmother of the late Nnamdi, Mrs. Cordelia Obeya, told Daily Champion at the family's Awolowo Road, Ikoyi, residence yesterday that they would leave no stone unturned at getting the killers of their son.
