The family of Ismail Mohammed, a 16-year-old boy fatally shot by the Nigerian Army during the #EndBadGovernance protests, has received N300,000 as compensation
This follows the army’s admission of responsibility for the shooting in Samaru, Zaria, Kaduna State.
According to Saharareporters, the army’s brutal crackdown on protesters resulted in the deaths of two civilians, including Ismail Mohammed.
The military’s actions were aimed at dispersing protesters who had been gathering in the area for days.
The Nigerian Army has confirmed the death of Ismail Mohammed, stating that troops fired a warning shot to deter hoodlums and enforce the curfew imposed by the state government.
However, the compensation amount of N300,000 has been criticized as inadequate for the loss of a life.
The incident has sparked widespread outrage and calls for accountability, with many questioning the use of lethal force against unarmed protesters. The Nigerian Army’s actions have been widely condemned, and there are growing demands for justice and reform.
