Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigerian Army has confirmed the arrest of its personnel who gunned down a 16-year-old boy, Ismail Mohammed during the ongoing EndBadGovernance protest in Kaduna State.<\/p>\n

The young boy was killed on Tuesday when the troops of the Nigerian army stormed the Samaru community in Zaria to despers the protesters.<\/p>\n

The security operatives were enforcing a curfew earlier imposed on the ancient city by the Kaduna State Government.<\/p>\n

Confirming the incident, the NA in a statement issued on Tuesday night by its spokesperson, Onyema Nwachukwu said the officer responsible for the incident has been arrested.<\/p>\n

The statement reads, \u201con 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe troops immediately mobilised and arrived at the scene to disperse the mob and enforce the curfew imposed by the State Government.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe soldier involved has since been arrested and undergoing interrogation as at the time of this report\u201d.<\/p>\n
