JUSTICE FOR 13-YEAR OLD MASTER TIMOTHY DANIEL MONDAY MURDERED ON NEW YEAR’S DAY BY A SOLDIER ATTACHED TO STERLING GLOBAL

My heart has been heavy since last Friday when the sister of this young boy reached out to me to inform me about the gruesome murder or his brother.

Master Timothy Daniel Monday, a 13-year old JSS 2 student of Bensona International School, King Jaja Street, Borokiri, Port Harcourt, was murdered by a trigger-happy Army personnel on Thursday, 1st January, 2026.

The sister, Miss Miracle Daniel Monday, who is an eye witness to the tragedy, informed me that she and her family members attended a Cross Over Service at Mount Zion Church, Ette, in Ikot Abasi Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State.

During the course of the service, Miracle stepped out with her siblings to urinate and were accosted by soldiers deployed to protect Sterling Oil Exploration & Energy Production Company Ltd. (popularly known as Sterling Global), a major Nigerian indigenous oil & gas firm involved in exploration and production (E&P).

According to Miracle, she told the soldiers to hold on for her to finish urinating, but her innocuous comment infuriated one of the soldiers who felt challenged.

The soldier then pushed her to the ground.

When she asked him why he pushed her, the soldier became more infuriated and then slapped her, and also assaulted her sister.

Another soldier later intervened, apologized to the two sisters and asked them to leave.

As they were leaving, they heard gunshots.

It turn out that the same soldier who had assaulted them had opened fire and killed Master Timothy instantly. The photos shared with me are too graphic for me to share. His brain was completely shattered.

The family reported the case to the Nigerian Army Cantonment 6 Battalion Wellington Basi Barracks, Ibagwa, Abak Local Government Area.

The case was also reported to the police.

I called Miracle this morning, she confirmed to me that till this moment, Sterling Global has not deemed it fit to contact or visit the grieving family.

I am calling on the Minister of Defence, the Chief of Army Staff, the General Officer Commanding (G.O.C.) of the 6 Battalion, Ibagwa, and the Akwa Ibom State Government to swiftly intervene in this case, ensure that the culprit is court-martialed for murder, and the family adequately compensated.

The nonchalant attitude of Sterling Global to this case, like in many other cases, is despicable and unacceptable.

No Nigerian should be killed in this manner by those who are supposed to protect them. The pain that this family has been subjected to is unimaginable. They live in Port Harcourt, and only went home for the holidays.

Section 33 of the Nigerian Constitution guarantees the right to life. No one should be deprived of this scared right, except in strict compliance with the manner set by the Constitution.

This is the wife and daughter of the late Ven. Edwin Achi, who was killed in captivity by Fulani terrorists. Please, we appeal to the Nigerian Government to help rescue the old woman and her daughter. The government has remained silent. If this were Remi Tinubu and her daughter, would President Bola Tinubu and the APC government leave them in the hands of terrorists?

While in Benue, I met with dozens of Christians who were driven from their homes and subjected to horrific violence and now live in IDP camps.

They told harrowing stories that will remain with me for the rest of my life.

One woman was forced to watch as they killed her husband and five children. She, and her unborn child, barely escaped.

Another woman’s family was murdered in front of her and her baby was ripped from her womb.

One man’s family was hacked to death in front of his eyes and his armed was permanently mangled.

There are more than 600,000 Christians in IDP camps in Benue State alone.

These Christians should be able to live in their ancestral homeland without fear of genocidal Fulani.

As a parent, I think this video has taught me something useful.

I recommend that you should try it on your kids, too.

I have also shared it with my wife.

In a world where noise travels faster than truth, I want to take a moment to speak about the woman I know, the woman I love, and the woman I cherish. My wife, Laila. She is a woman whose quiet strength continues to amaze me every single day.

Laila is not someone who lives on social media. She has never been the type to chase attention or respond to every passing opinion. She prefers a peaceful and private life where her energy goes to the things that truly matter, not the distractions that come with the online world.

Anyone who truly knows her understands her gentle nature, her maturity, and her sincere kindness. She is thoughtful, patient, respectful, and incredibly caring. She gives without expecting anything in return and chooses understanding even when she is misunderstood.

It can be hard to watch unkind words or false assumptions being thrown around online, especially when they do not reflect her character. But I know who she is. I know her heart. I know the honesty she carries and the way she handles even difficult moments with calm dignity.

She does not believe in defending herself on the internet because she knows her life and her worth are not determined by online opinions. Laila has always chosen to live authentically and quietly, focusing on what is real instead of what is loud.

As her husband, I will always stand by her. I will speak for her when needed, and I will protect her name with pride. She has been a constant source of stability and peace in my life, and I am grateful for the comfort and wisdom she brings into our home every day.

Laila has a depth of character that many may never see because she does not display her life publicly. She moves quietly, loves quietly, and carries herself with grace. Her strength does not shout. Her goodness does not need an audience. She simply remains true to who she is.

Over the years, I have seen her handle challenges with patience and grace that inspire me. She does not rush to prove herself to anyone. She allows time, truth, and character to speak for her. That is one of the many reasons I respect her deeply.

To everyone who has shown understanding, compassion, and kindness during moments when the online world becomes harsh, thank you. Your support and fairness mean more than words can express. It brings light into difficult spaces.

And to my wife, Laila, you are valued, you are loved, and you are far greater than anything said about you online. I am proud of the woman you are. I believe in your strength. I appreciate your calm spirit. And I will always stand with you, today and every day.”

“No matter what religion you belong to, no matter where you come from, no matter what profession you are in, we Nigerians are being killed, and our government seems to be incapable of protecting us. We are part of the world community, and if our government cannot do it, we have the right to call on the international community to do for us what our government cannot do for us.” — ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo on the insecurity in Nigeria
