I WILL SHOOT YOU AND NOTHING WILL HAPPEN…
Those were the chilling words allegedly spoken by the soldier who shot Mr. Kelechi Ejiofor in the leg.
The incident happened on Monday, April 8, 2026. Since then, Kelechi fought for his life in the hospital, even pleading with doctors to amputate his leg just to survive. Sadly, delays in treatment worsened his condition. By the time the leg was eventually amputated, the pain and excessive bleeding led to his death.
Mr. Kelechi was a hardworking trailer driver who transported timber from Akwa Ibom to Aba. At a checkpoint, soldiers reportedly demanded ₦1,000, which his conductor paid. Yet, as they attempted to continue their journey, the same soldiers pursued them for reasons still unknown.
That pursuit ended in tragedy the young man was shot.
Today, his family mourns a father lost to what many describe as a senseless act. Meanwhile, there has been no official response or accountability from the Nigerian Army.
When last did we hear of soldiers showing this level of aggression towards Fulani terrorists at checkpoints?
What exactly was Kelechi’s crime?
Today, it is Mr. Kelechi Ejiofor. Tomorrow ,who knows who might be next?
All that is being asked for is simple: justice.

🚺 The hidden crisis of menstrual health for WGWD

It is every woman and girl’s right to have access to sustainable menstrual hygiene products and optimum menstrual health.
Yet in 2025, menstrual health is still a privilege. Why?
join this conversation with @DRACNigeria@donlaz4u and other amazing speakers. I ll be sharing insights from the work we do at @healforafrica via the #PayAttentionToHer Project
Menstrual health is about dignity & independence, yet many women with disabilities face barriers — restrooms we can’t access, products we can’t use, & stigma that silences us.
I’ll be speaking at @DRACNigeria twitter space to highlight these challenges & propose solutions.
