FORMAL REBUTTAL STATEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE FAMILY OF ABDULSAMAD JAMIU (DECEASED)
In Response to the HQ Nigerian Army Official Account of Events of 25th April 2026
Incident Location: Dei-Dei Shagari Quarters, Abuja, Federal Capital Territory
Victim: Abdulsamad Jamiu, Male, 24 Years of Age
Date of Statement: 26th April 2026
PRELIMINARY NOTE
This statement is issued on behalf of the immediate family of the late Abdulsamad Jamiu, who was killed in the early hours of Saturday, 25th April 2026, at his residence in Dei-Dei Shagari Quarters, Abuja. It is issued in direct and formal response to the account of events published by the Nigerian Military, which the family, supported by physical evidence, witness testimony, and the military’s own partial admissions, categorically rejects as false, misleading, and an affront to the memory of an innocent young man.
The family is not issuing this statement in anger alone. They are issuing it in the interest of truth, accountability, and the rule of law — values which the Nigerian Military, as an institution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, is constitutionally obligated to uphold.
SECTION I: ESTABLISHED FACTS
The following facts are not in dispute and form the foundation of this rebuttal:
1. At approximately 2:00 a.m. on Saturday, 25th April 2026, personnel of the Nigerian Military entered the residential premises of the Jamiu family at Dei-Dei Shagari Quarters, Abuja.
2. At the time of the incident, Abdulsamad Jamiu, aged 24 years, was present inside his room within the family residence. His sister was also present in the house. Their parents were absent, having travelled to Okene to attend a burial ceremony.
3. Nigerian Military personnel discharged a firearm at close range through the door of Abdulsamad’s room. The shot struck Abdulsamad Jamiu in the head, killing him instantly.
4. The trajectory of the bullet — confirmed by physical examination of the bullet hole, which runs from the room door to the wall of the room — conclusively establishes that the shot was fired from outside the room, through the closed door, into the room where Abdulsamad Jamiu was situated.
5. On hearing the gunshot, Abdulsamad’s sister rushed downstairs, whereupon she was instructed by the soldiers present to go outside and “calm down.”
6. Neighbours who heard the gunshot contacted the community vigilante group. Upon their arrival, vigilante members were instructed by the military personnel to mop up the blood and flush it — a directive which, in itself, raises grave questions about the military’s intent to preserve an evidence-intact crime scene.
7. The body of Abdulsamad Jamiu was subsequently conveyed to Kubwa General Hospital by the police, who had arrived at the scene. The family was compelled to endure hours of statements and administrative paperwork before being granted access to retrieve their son’s remains for burial.
8. The military personnel present at the scene, when confronted by the family regarding the killing of their son, acknowledged that the shooting of Abdulsamad Jamiu was a mistake and that they had killed an innocent person. This acknowledgement was made in the presence of the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) and was recorded in a written statement.
SECTION II: THE MILITARY’S ACCOUNT AND ITS SPECIFIC CONTRADICTIONS
The Nigerian Military has publicly claimed that its personnel were engaged in active pursuit of armed robbers and that the fatal shooting of Abdulsamad Jamiu occurred in the course of an exchange of gunfire. The family rejects this account in its entirety and presents the following point-by-point rebuttal, each supported by verifiable evidence or the absence of evidence where the military bears the burden of proof:
Ground 1: The Physical Evidence Disproves an “Exchange of Gunfire”
The military’s claim of an exchange of gunfire is irreconcilable with the physical evidence present at the scene.

It's not a coincidence that the very day this guy and Reverend Dachomo decided to continue their hate campaign against Muslims, a crisis erupted in Plateau State.
How is the Nigerian Government still allowing these people to walk freely?
This guy is on a secret mission. He’s bent on setting up the Christians against the Muslims.
Authorities must be proactive before things get out to hand.
I started reciting Surah Al-Waqi‘ah every night. At first, I thought it was just about wealth. I imagined "instant success" and a life-changing financial breakthrough.
But what happened instead…Left me speechless.
Dear @FMWNIG
The contractor handling the Abuja–Kaduna–Zaria–Kano highway reconstruction, Infiouest International Limited, is treating motorists with glaring disregard.
At the busy Kwanar Dawaki axis, the company failed to provide an alternative route to divert traffic moving in and out of the area, despite the heavy volume of vehicles that ply the corridor daily. The situation is worsened by the absence of clear road signs to warn or guide motorists about ongoing construction, potential hazards, or available diversions. This has subjected road users to unnecessary hardship, congestion and safety risks.
Given the scale of the project, it is difficult to believe that provisions were not made in the contract for alternative roads to ease traffic during construction. If such provisions exist in the project bill of quantities, then you should ensure that they are implemented.

I am not a doctor, but I want to answer based on my Islamic scholarship and the knowledge I have garnered from elders in the game.
First, a few months is way too early to start panicking. Medically, newly-weds are told to give it 6 to 12 months of consistent intimacy before raising any alarm. Your tests already came out fine. That is a massive win for you guys. Just relax.
Second, is sex for pregnancy different? Yes and no.
Yes, because you have to be strategic. You need to target your wife's ovulation window. Let me give a simple example so others reading this can learn too. If she has a normal 28-day cycle and her menstruation starts on the 5th of the month, that 5th is Day 1. Her ovulation will likely happen around Day 14, which is the 18th of that month. So, her most fertile window is around the 15th to the 19th. That is the exact time you guys should target heavily.
But No, because you shouldn't make the whole process look like a timed game. Just like elders would tell us: the fastest way to delay conception is stress. Your body will literally fight it. Just enjoy your new marriage. Let it flow naturally.
Third, since the medical side is clear, let me also give you these two heavy spiritual secrets. I want to believe you are a Muslim.
1. Engage in Massive Istighfar. Allah explicitly said in the Quran (Surah Nuh) that constant seeking of forgiveness (Istighfar) unlocks wealth and children. Both of you should make "Astaghfirullah" a heavy daily habit.
2. Be persistent on the Dua of Prophet Zakariyyah. Remember he was old, his wife was barren, but he was able to solve it with this simple prayer:
Rabbi la tatharni fardan wa anta khayrul waritheen (O my Lord, do not leave me childless, though You are the best of inheritors).
Take your minds off the pressure. Enjoy each other. Allah's timing is the most perfect.
