Tsavnav Gabriel, an NKST Secondary School student in Sai, Benue, was shot by Nigerian Army personnel Wednesday evening. Soldiers were returning from escorting a man’s body killed by suspected Fulani herdsmen to Tse Jato. The shooting sparked outrage.
The incident happened as troops moved through Sai community, Katsina-Ala Local Government Area. Gabriel was hit by a stray bullet, rushed to a Sai clinic for treatment. Medics stabilized him, but condition unclear.
His household was earlier displaced due to Benue’s ongoing security crisis—frequent bandit attacks, kidnappings. Residents demand army probe, accountability. “Why shoot civilians?” they ask.
Sympathizers flood social media, wishing Gabriel speedy recovery. Family pleads for peace, prayers. Police Spokesperson Udeme Edet unreachable for comment.
