UPDATE ON THE MURDER OF ABDULSAMAD JAMIU
This morning, 27 April 2026, representatives from HQ Nigerian Army, led by Brigadier S. O. Buhari, visited the family to offer condolences and to inspect the scene of the incident.
During the visit, they stated that they were unaware the house was fenced and that the room where the shooting occurred was located downstairs. This contradicts their earlier claim suggesting the death resulted from a “stray bullet.”
The delegation expressed condolences and assured the family that the officers involved would be investigated and held accountable.
The family has formally demanded the retraction of the initial statement and a public apology for what they consider an insult to the memory of their son.
Although there was a promise to delete the statement, the family made it clear that trust has already been undermined, especially given that some military personnel had visited the scene the yesterday before issuing the statement in question.
We reiterate our demand that those responsible for the killing of Abdulsalam Jamiu be brought to justice. This was not an accident. He was in his home; military men entered the premises, approached his room, and shot him through the door. Twice. This was not a mistake.
A Mother’s cry no one should ever hear
“Nigeria has happened to me... I need justice.”
These are the heartbreaking words of Samad’s mother as she mourns her son — A young man whose life was cut short in the most painful way.
No family deserves this pain. No mother deserves this kind of loss.
Her voice is heavy with grief, but also with a call that cannot be ignored: JUSTICE.
How many more lives must be lost before accountability becomes real?
Stand with her. Stand for Samad.
