Nigerian Army Compensates Family Of 16-year-old Shot Dead In Kaduna Protests With N300,000

The family of Ismail Mohammed, a 16-year-old boy killed by the Nigerian Army under President Bola Tinubu during the ongoing #EndBadGovernance protests, has been compensated with N300,000.

This follows the army's admission of responsibility for the fatal shooting in Samaru, Zaria, Kaduna State in a statement on Wednesday.

According to social media user, Aliyu (@AliyuKwarbai) on Wednesday afternoon, Ismail Mohammed's family has been given N300,000 for life compensation.

“The father of 16 years old boy (Ismail), who was killed by the Nigerian Army under the leadership of Bola Ahmed Tinubu yesterday, in Samaru Zaria, Kaduna state has received N300,000. N300,000 for life's compensation of life?”

SaharaReporters reported on Tuesday that tragedy struck in Kaduna State, as Nigerian soldiers fired live rounds to suppress #EndBadGovernance protests in Samaru community, killing two civilians and sparking widespread panic.

According to eyewitnesses, the soldiers stormed the community, home to thousands of Ahmadu Bello University students, on Tuesday morning and opened fire on civilians.

SaharaReporters learnt that the military's brutal crackdown was aimed to disperse protesters who had been gathering in the area for days.

A student resident confirmed the incident to SaharaReporters, describing the atmosphere as tense and volatile following the senseless killing of innocent civilians.

The community source said, “The army came early this morning (Tuesday) and did not care; they just started shooting. Their aim was to suppress the ongoing protest. Unfortunately, their bullets hit two residents at the market area of Samaru. They both died.”

“One of them was a 16-year-old boy. I do not know much about the identity of the second one,” the source added.

A graphic video shared by X user, Better Kaduna, shows the lifeless body of one of the victims, providing disturbing visual evidence of the deadly crackdown on protesters in Zaria, Kaduna State.

He wrote: “Videos coming in from Samaru Community in Zaria are worrisome and Viewers Discretion is advised.

“Being a student-dominated community, we are calling on ABU Zaria Authorities to ensure the safety of students and forestall further loss of lives.”

Meanwhile, SaharaReporters earlier reported today that the Nigerian Army has confirmed the death of a protester and 16-year-old boy, Ismail Mohammed, in Zaira, Kaduna State.

The army spokesperson, Major General Onyema Nwachukwu, in a release stated that the teenager's death resulted from troops firing a warning shot to deter hoodlums and enforce the curfew imposed by the state government.

The curfew was in the wake of the #EndBadGovernance peaceful protests in the state, which was however hijacked by some hoodlums.

Nwachukwu, the Director of Army Public Relations, said that Nigerian Army troops received a distress call reporting that a large group of hoodlums had gathered in Samaru, burning tyres on the road and pelting stones at security personnel.

The army authorities stated that the troops were immediately mobilised and arrived at the scene to disperse the mob and enforce the curfew imposed by the state government.

shocked
I wouldnt blame the dead and neither am i blaming anyone for protesting against the Govt, but these are things we were sure would happen even before the protest began


U know your country, U know how easily people would forget u even if u have die a hero. Its happened before and we saw how everyone moved on like nothing happened, why risk things this way

I dont care how things are being done in saner climes, as far as we are still here in Nigeria, safeguard your head cause you might be the sole loser in the end

Sowore, Adegboruwa and Falana will surely eat tonight. The world wont stop for the dead

They must find a way to include Tinubu's name in the story.
Yes, he is the commander of the Armed Forces of Nigeria but trying to blame him for the actions of every officer is laughable.

Whoever killed the kid should be charged in court for murder and let him face the consequences of his actions.

This is what life has been reduced to in Nigeria. Extra judicial killings can be paid off with just 300k, the guy is worth less than 5 bags of rice right? How did Nigeria fail to this point?
