The remains of Muyideen Mustapha of Opobiyi family in Agbaji area of Ilorin was laid to rest today Wednesday 4th of January 2012  at the Muslim Cementary behind Yidi praying ground in Ilorin at about 2pm.

Mustafa is  the first victim in rolling nationwide protests over the lifting of petrol subsidies which are expected to bring higher prices for everything and hardship to Nigerian citizens.

Only days before, the 23 year old Opobiyi had completed his studies in computer training at Da’arul Salam Computer Training Institute of Information and Technology. He arrived in Abuja post-graduation for a short vacation but was shot down in cold blood by Nigerian police attached to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad at a pro-subsidy protest in Ilorin, Kwara state.
