The man in this photo happens to be one of the “Dangerous 7” that was executed with the Infamous Dr Ishola Oyenusi.Before his execution he carried out a loud scream “ I am Innocent!!!” before the bullets came hitting his body and seizing life out of him.
Before their execution, Oyenusi requested for a goat to be killed and prepared for him and his comrades as their last meal. They had a goat party and they were executed the next day at the Bar Beach, Victoria Island, Lagos.
