Comedian and activist, Debo Marcaroni, popularly known as Mr Marcaroni, has donated N500,000 to the family of the lady, Jumoke Oyeleke, killed by stray police bullet during the July 4 Yoruba Nation protest in Lagos.

He revealed that the deceased was the breadwinner of her family, using her income as a salesgirl to support her mother and three siblings.
His tweet reads: ” I visited the family of late Jumoke Oyeleke; the 25yrs old that was killed during the Yoruba Nation Rally. They need all the support they can get right now, I have donated N500,000 today and I plead with all those who can to kindly support the family. ??❤️
“Dabira (picture above) a true comrade and fighter had gone earlier to see the family when the unfortunate incident happened and she discovered their living condition.
“Also important to note is that Jumoke (The Deceased) was the bread winner of the house. She was a sales attendant at a beverage store and she used the little she made to sustain her mother and 3 siblings. As it is, the family have nothing.
“As of the time of my visit, Neither the government nor police force had taken responsibility. The family despite their state of mourning have been told to bear all responsibilities.. this is heartbreaking. Very very.”
