The #EndBadGovernance protest yesterday turned bloody in Kaduna State, following the killing of a teenager by a soldier in the Samaru area of Zaria in the state.
The late 16- year old Isma’il Muhammad was reportedly shot by a soldier inside his father’s house, while the security operatives were enforcing the 24-hour curfew imposed by the Kaduna State Government following a violent protest that broke out in Zaria and Kaduna metropolis on Monday.
In a statement confirming the incident, the Director of Army Public Relations, Major General Onyema Nwachukwu, said the soldier involved in the killing of the teenager has since been arrested and is undergoing interrogation.
