His body has never been released and no one has been held responsible Sitting in her family’s two-bedroom apartment on a sweltering Sunday afternoon, Bosede Onifade says she is tired of waiting for news about her son. Pelumi Onifade has been missing for six years. The last time his mother saw him was on the morning of 24 October 2020. An intern with a Nigerian news channel, the 20-year-old was excited to be going on assignment to cover the #EndSars protests, an anti-police brutality movement that had rocked the country that year, while unleashing a further onslaught of state violence against Nigerian citizens. Pelumi had been filming a demonstration in Abule Egba, Lagos State, for Gboah TV, when he was hit by a bullet, according to witnesses, who said members of the Lagos police taskforce then dragged him into a van along with arrested protesters. Bosede, family and friends searched for Pelumi to no avail until a relative found his body in a morgue in Ikorodu, 23 miles (37km) north of the city, on 30 October. But by the time the family arrived, the body was no longer there.
