The Minister of State for Labour and Productivity, Mr Festus Keyamo has narrated how one of his drivers, Mr Yohanna Shan

Keyamo revealed this on Thursday morning in a post on his official twitter handle.

He tweeted, “I regret to announce that my driver, Mr. Yohanna Shankuk, died yesterday in Abuja as a result of the protests.

“A vehicle that saw advancing protesters at Berger roundabout, made a U-turn, took the one-way back and ran over him as he was making his way on foot to my private office.”

The minister earlier alleged that the ongoing #EndSARS protest rocking the country is becoming a mob action.

According to him, some criminal elements have mixed with genuine protesters to unleash terror on citizens and members of the Nigeria Police Force.

Reacting to one of the five-point demands of the protesters on Tuesday, Keyamo, who spoke in a Facebook Live Chat with The PUNCH, said the Federal Government was not buoyant to increase the salaries of police officer at the moment.
