The sister of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member who was fatally shot in Abuja has finally broken her silence, sharing a heartbreaking account of the tragic incident that claimed her brother’s life.
In an emotional video that has since gone viral across Nigerian social media platforms, the grieving sister made shocking allegations about the circumstances surrounding her brother’s death. According to her testimony, armed soldiers invaded their family compound in what she described as an unprovoked attack.
“They Climbed Into Our Compound”
The distraught sister alleged that the soldiers did not use the main entrance but instead scaled the fence to gain entry into their residential compound. Once inside, she claimed they proceeded to shoot her brother without any prior warning or justification.
Perhaps most disturbing about her account is the alleged response from the soldiers after realizing what they had done. According to the bereaved sister, the military personnel simply labeled the fatal shooting as a “mistake” and left the scene.
A Nation Demanding Answers
This latest incident has reignited conversations about security personnel accountability and the protection of civilian lives in Nigeria. Many Nigerians on social media have expressed outrage over the alleged casual dismissal of the young man’s death as merely a “mistake.”
The corps member, who was serving his nation as required by law, reportedly had his promising future cut short in his own home—a place where every Nigerian should feel safe and protected.
Calls for Justice Mount
Human rights activists, civil society organizations, and concerned citizens are now demanding a thorough investigation into the incident. They are calling on relevant authorities, including the Nigerian Army and the Federal Government, to ensure that justice is served and those responsible are held accountable.
The incident has also raised questions about the rules of engagement for security forces operating in civilian areas and the need for better training and accountability measures.
NYSC Community Mourns
Fellow corps members and the NYSC community have expressed deep sadness over the loss of one of their own. Many have taken to social media to demand justice while sharing condolences with the bereaved family.
As of the time of this report, neither the Nigerian Army nor other relevant security agencies have issued an official statement addressing the specific allegations made by the deceased’s sister.
The family continues to mourn their loss while seeking answers and justice for their son, whose life was allegedly cut short by those meant to protect citizens.
May his soul rest in peace.
