Relatives, friends and teachers of Sarah Ibikunke, the 15-year-old basic
three pupil, who was shot dead by a gang of robbers in the Lekki Phase
1, Lagos State, gathered on Monday to give her their last respect.
Sympathisers spoke glowingly about the teenager, who had longed to
become a lawyer, as she was laid to rest at the Ikoyi Cemetery.
The bandits, said to be in military uniforms, had on March 12 laid siege to a branch of First Monument Bank Limited on Admiralty Way, firing guns indiscriminately. In the process, three cops among a police team escorting a bus belonging to an oil company were killed, while Sarah, who was
hawking fish around the area, was hit by stray bullets.
