Abdulsamad Jamiu killed by stray bullet – A tragic incident in Abuja has sparked outrage after a stray bullet killed a 24-year-old National Youth Service Corps member, Abdulsamad Jamiu, in the early hours of April 25, 2026.

Jamiu was inside his room in the Byazhin area of Abuja when the bullet pierced through his door, struck his skull, and lodged in the wall behind him. Bloodstains and visible damage reportedly remained at the scene hours after the shooting.

According to reports, the fatal shot was fired around 2 a.m., throwing the quiet neighborhood into confusion and grief.

Jamiu’s younger sister, Faridah, recounted the horrifying moment she heard the gunshot while sleeping upstairs.

“I heard a loud bang around 2 a.m. I immediately rushed downstairs to find out what had happened,” she said.

When she got downstairs, she reportedly encountered three men dressed in military uniforms.

Their presence has raised serious questions about the circumstances surrounding the shooting and the identity of those involved.

Meanwhile, family members and neighbors have demanded a full investigation into the incident.

They insist that those responsible must be identified and brought to justice.

“This cannot be swept under the carpet. A young man with his whole life ahead of him was killed in his own room,” a family source said.

The tragic death has also reignited concerns over the reckless use of firearms by security personnel and the safety of civilians in residential communities.

Residents say no one should die while sleeping in their own home.

As calls for accountability grow louder, many Nigerians are demanding answers from both military and civil authorities.

Why were armed men in the area at that hour? Who fired the shot? And under what circumstances?

For now, Abdulsamad Jamiu’s family is left mourning a promising young life cut short in the most senseless manner.

The incident serves as another painful reminder of the urgent need for stricter rules on firearm use and greater accountability among security operatives.
