This was confirmed in a statement by the Director Army Public Relations, Major General Onyeama Nwachukwu on Tuesday titled “Unfortunate death of a protester by a soldier in Zaria”.

Nwachukwu noted that the incident happened when the troops of the Nigerian Army received a distress call to help disperse some hoodlums, who had gathered in Samaru burning tyres, and throwing stones on security personnel.

He said the troops immediately mobilised and arrived at the scene to disperse the mob and enforce the curfew imposed by the State Government.

On arrival at the scene, the hoodlums brazenly attempted attacking the troops prompting a soldier to fire a warning shot to scare the hoodlums away, which unfortunately led to the death of a 16 year old boy Ismail Mohammed.

According to the army spokesperson,  the soldier involved has since been arrested and undergoing interrogation as at the time of this report. 

“On 6 August 2024, troops of the Nigerian Army received a distress call that some hoodlums gathered in Samaru in large numbers, burning tires on the road and pelting stones on security personnel. The troops immediately mobilised and arrived at the scene to disperse the mob and enforce the curfew imposed by the State Government.
