Olugbodi had told the panel about how a stray police bullet had hit her leg in 2018 when officers were trying to extort some young men around the Ijesha market.

Abayomi’s compensation was awarded on behalf of his mother, Kudirat, who was killed by a stray bullet fired by SARS officers who were attempting to arrest internet fraudsters in 2017.
