  "account": "Bintu Omole, the mother of Omole Taiwo, who tragically lost her life after being hit by a police bullet during an operation in Lagos, Nigeria, is seeking justice for her daughter. During an interview with News Central, Bintu expressed her grief, stating that Taiwo, aged one year and eight months, was a twin who had passed away shortly after birth, causing her immense pain during pregnancy. On Saturday, November 7, 2026, the Lagos State Police Command detained Assistant Superintendent of Police Omotayo Olajide following an incident where his firearm discharged during an operation in Ajegunle, resulting in the injury of another girl and the death of Taiwo. According to the police, the operation was conducted to respond to a clash between two rival groups, the Nosamu Boys and Alayabiagba Boys, over toll collection. However, the Omole family disputes this claim, asserting that there was no fight in the area at the time of the incident. Bintu emphasized her desire for justice, stating that the police in Ajeromi have brought her to tears and appealed for her daughter's death not to be in vain.",
