The man never lived to implement his life goal -- to see his daughter accepted to the best school possible. That day, it has been gathered, Bright, having bathed his daughter Ebun and prepared her food, opened his saloon, and customers began flowing in.

At around 10.30pm, according to the eyewitnesses, a mobile policeman attached to a company poles away from Janet Fagbemi street (location of Bright's) stormed the shop and ordered Bright to come out. Bright, who was then attending to a customer, left him and came out. "As he stepped out of the shop, the Mopol shot him at close range. He continued shooting sporadically. In the process, four other persons, including a pregnant woman, were hit by stray bullets. From all indications, it was obvious he [the policeman] was drunk. "It all started after the policeman...
Abandoned his duty post and accosted some men in a vehicle on the adjourning street. He told the men in the car to come down for a search. But they hesitated, requesting he identified himself before they would obey. "Perhaps their response infuriated him as he slapped one of them twice. While they were still trying to fathom what their offence was, he slapped the second man. "Amidst frayed nerves, the men demanded to ascertain the identity of the man who assaulted them. At that point, the Mopol rushed to his duty post and came back with his gun, saying he would show them that he was just posted from Jos, Plateau,where people are killed anyhow.
At that point everyone took to his heels before he went to Bright's shop," the eyewitnesses narrated. A pregnant woman, identified as Ebere, was inside her house when she heard the gun shots. Suspecting robbers were operating, she rushed out to lock her gate -- only for a stray bullet to hit her on the hand. Another victim, known Nonso, was hit in the eye, while the third, Tayo,was hit in the thigh.
