Army Admits Killing Teen During Zaria ProtestA soldier shot 16-year-old Ismail Mohammed in Zaria amid unrest; the officer was detained and is under interrogation.
- The Nigerian Army acknowledged that one of its soldiers killed a 16-year-old boy, Ismail Mohammed, during a protest in Zaria.
- Troops responded to a distress call about disturbances involving tire burning and stone throwing, enforcing a government-imposed curfew.
- Upon arrival, the troops were attacked, prompting a soldier to fire a warning shot that unintentionally caused the boy's death.
- The soldier involved has been arrested and is being interrogated, despite earlier police claims denying any use of live ammunition.
The police and the military, and indeed no other security agency involved in the management of this protest, have deployed excessive use of force.— Kayode Egbetokun, the Inspector-General of Police, regarding the use of force during the protests.
