Nwachukwu said the troops received a distress call that some hoodlums gathered in Samaru area of Gusau in large numbers, burning tyres on the road and pelting 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.

“The soldier involved has since been arrested and undergoing interrogation as at the time of this report,” he said.

Nwachukwu said the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt.-Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja, was saddened by the unfortunate incident.

He said the COAS had sent a high-powered delegation led by the General Officer Commanding 1 Division, Maj.-Gen. Lander Saraso to visit and condole with the family of the deceased.

According to him, the deceased was buried according to Islamic rites with senior military officers of the Nigerian army in attendance.(NAN)
