This is so sad 💔💔 DNA test results have conclusively identified a previously unidentified body at the Ikorodu General Hospital mortuary as that of Pelumi Emmanuel Onifade, the 20-year-old journalist k!!lled while covering the #EndSARS protests in October 2020. Onifade, an intern reporter with Lagos-based Gboah TV and a 200-level History student at Tai Solarin University of Education, was on assignment in the Abule Egba/Agege area on October 24, 2020. While covering the protests, he filmed a video that captured the President of the Yoruba Youth Forum, Olusegun Abiodun Bolarinwa, shooting into a crowd of unarmed protesters. The footage quickly went viral, sparking widespread outrage. Shortly after, Onifade was reportedly shot and arrested by officers attached to the Lagos State Task Force. His body was later found at the Ikorodu mortuary, tagged as No. 1385, but remained unidentified for years due to forensic challenges, including the destruction of DNA samples at the state's forensic centre during the protests. Recent DNA matching between samples from the body and Onifade's parents, conducted by the Lagos State DNA and Forensic Centre, has now confirmed his identity in the ongoing coroner's inquest. Onifade's viral video documented a critical moment during the #EndSARS demonstrations against police brutality. Eyewitness accounts indicate that after the footage surfaced, he and a colleague were targeted. His family searched for him for days before locating what they believed to be his remains at the mortuary, where a gunshot wound was observed.
