Family of international student killed by Winnipeg police attend funeral, call for answers
On the afternoon of Dec. 31, 2023, Winnipeg police responded to a report of a man acting erratically at a south Winnipeg apartment building. Police said Afolabi Opaso, 19, was armed with a knife when they arrived on scene.
Roommates said Opaso was experiencing a mental health crisis, and was trying to harm himself.
Oh, really? Why didn't you take him to the hospital yourself if he was so harmless? There's a dozen machete chop stories in Niggeria every day."They said they made it clear on that 9-1-1 call, 'Our friend is having a mental breakdown, he's not harmful to anybody. We just need him to be taken to the hospital,'" she said, adding the roommate also told her Opaso opened the door when police arrived. The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) is investigating the incident.
"If there's any wrongdoing, there needs to be some accountability," [fambly] lawyer Jean-René Dominique Kwilu said.
"Our city." These shitskins sure seem well organized in Canada. Got their own NGOs, lawyers, everything. It's "their country" now.Uche Nwankwo with AfriCans in South Winnipeg says it's been a traumatic experience for other international students, too.
"I've been trying to make them understand ... our city, our province, our country is not against international students or anybody," he said. "Trying to calm them down to understand that this thing happened, but this is not what defines us."
"All we just want is justice. We just want answers to all our questions. We want to know what really happened."
