He ran inside and locked the door, but the soldiers followed him and shot through the door. I was at Hayin Dogo when Abubakar called to tell me what happened. But it was after an hour that I was able to reach home after Ismail was killed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Nigerian Army has vowed to investigate the death of the teenager, Isma\u2019il Muhammad, following the allegation.<\/p>\n<p>The General Officer Commanding, GOC, 1 Division, Nigerian Army, Kaduna, Maj.-Gen. MLD Saraso, disclosed this when he visited the family of the deceased in Zaria on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The GOC later addressed youths in the area, saying that he was in Zaria to commiserate with the family and the community over the incident.<\/p>\n<p>He assured that a thorough investigation would be conducted on the matter and invited any community member with substantive evidence to forward the same for necessary action.<\/p>\n<p>Saraso said the incident was unfortunate, urging the community to live in peace and always abide by the law and order.<\/p>\n<p>The deceased\u2019s mother, Zainab Sani, said the shooting occurred around 9.00 a.m., at their residence at Sarkin Pawa Street, Samaru, Zaria, by a trigger-happy soldier on patrol alongside his colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>She said the late Isma\u2019il was playing with his friends and brother in front of their house when they saw soldiers coming in their direction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith one of the soldiers pointing his gun at them, they ran into the house and shut the gate,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She alleged that the soldier, however, shot at the gate, thereby killing Isma\u2019il, who stood by the gate to prevent the soldiers from gaining entrance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Nigeria Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
