 TRAGIC LOSS OF NYSC CORPS MEMBER DURING ARMED ROBBERY INCIDENT IN DEI-DEI Headquarters Guards Brigade regrets the tragic loss of Mr. Abdulsamad Jamiu, a serving National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member  during a security incident in the early hours of 25 April 2026 at Shagari Estate, Dei-Dei, Abuja. The unfortunate incident occurred when troops of the Guards Brigade Quick Response Group, on routine night patrol, responded to a distress call following an armed robbery attack in the area. Upon arrival, the troops came under gunfire from the fleeing armed robbers, resulting in a brief but intense exchange. In the course of the engagement, Mr. Jamiu was caught in the crossfire. Despite efforts by troops to secure the area and preserve lives, he sadly succumbed to his injuries. This heartbreaking loss has cast a deep shadow over all personnel of the Guards Brigade.

AL JAZEERA CORRESPONDENT ANAS AL-SHARIF AND FOUR JOURNALISTS KILLED IN ISRAELI STRIKE OUTSIDE GAZA CITY. (PHOTO).


 Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif and four journalists killed in Israeli strike outside Gaza City

Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif and four colleagues were killed in an Israeli strike on a tent used by reporters outside al-Shifa Hospital near Gaza City, according to the network. The attack claimed seven lives in total, including correspondent Mohammed Qreiqeh and camera operators Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal, and Moamen Aliwa. The strike was confirmed by the Israeli military and multiple news organizations.

Israeli officials accused the 28-year-old al-Sharif of being a Hamas operative involved in rocket attacks, a claim rejected by Al Jazeera. Al-Sharif was a prominent correspondent for Al Jazeera Arabic, reporting extensively from northern Gaza since the conflict began. Moments before his death, he posted a video on X showing intense Israeli bombardment in Gaza City’s eastern and southern areas, with explosions audible in the background. In a final post, he wrote, “If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice.”

Images shared by photographers showed al-Sharif’s severely burned body being cared for by Palestinian emergency workers. Al Jazeera has condemned the Israeli military for a “campaign of incitement” against its journalists, particularly targeting al-Sharif. Last month, the Committee to Protect Journalists expressed concern for his safety.

Since the war began in October, more than 200 journalists and media workers have died in Gaza, including several from Al Jazeera and their relatives. Israel has frequently accused Palestinian reporters of militant ties, a charge critics say is intended to discredit coverage of the conflict.
