BREAKING : NEEDLESS CARNAGE- DSS Operative Opens Fire on Abuja Residents—Two Dead, One Fighting for Life!

​ABUJA, FCT – A wave of outrage is sweeping through the Federal Capital Territory today, Wednesday, January 28, 2026, as news breaks of a horrific shooting involving an operative of the Department of State Services (DSS).
​In what is being described as a “senseless display of force,” two innocent residents have been confirmed dead, while a third is battling for survival at the hospital.
​The Nightmare in Karmajiji 📍
​The tragedy began on Monday, January 19, in Karmajiji (Karon Majigi) village, a community along the Airport Road.
​According to eyewitnesses and police sources, a DSS operative identified as Ajayi Abayomi opened fire on three men who were simply going about their lawful business.
​The Victims: The first victim, Musa Adamu, died just hours after the shooting.
​The Second Fatality: Today, January 28, the community was plunged into further mourning as Mallam Suleiman Salisu succumbed to his injuries at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Abuja.
​The Survivor: A third man, Abdullahi Ahmed, remains in critical condition after the same bullet that tore through Salisu’s stomach ended up lodged in his hand.
​”It Was an Accident” – The Suspect Goes into Hiding 🏃💨
​In a move that has sparked fury across social media, the operative, Ajayi Abayomi, has reportedly gone underground.
​The Excuse: Before disappearing, Abayomi allegedly told police investigators that the shooting was “unintentional” and that he “accidentally pulled the trigger” of his pistol.
​The Hunt: Police sources confirm that Abayomi has refused to honor multiple invitations for questioning. The community is now demanding: How does an “accidental discharge” hit three different people in a straight line?
​A Family’s Grief: “We Call for Our Rights” 🕊️
​The brother of one of the victims, speaking from FMC Abuja, shared a heart-wrenching tribute:
​”May Allah compensate my deceased brother for losing his life to a careless DSS officer who shot him without any fault… We are praying to Allah to grant us our rights.”
​The victims, described as peaceful and hardworking members of the Karmajiji community, have become the latest faces of what many Nigerians describe as unpardonable security agency brutality.
​Why This is Trending Hard 📈
​This incident has hit a raw nerve for several reasons:
​The “Accidental Discharge” Narrative: Nigerians are tired of hearing that “accidental” shots only seem to happen to unarmed civilians.
​The Disappearance: The fact that a state operative can “go into hiding” after killing civilians is being labeled as a failure of institutional accountability.
​The Abuja Tension: With kidnapping reports and security high in the FCT, this internal threat from a security officer has left residents feeling more vulnerable than ever.

​The People’s Demand 🗣️
​The hashtags are already climbing. The public is calling on the Director General of the DSS and the FCT Police Command to:
​Immediately arrest and parade Ajayi Abayomi.
​Provide full compensation and medical coverage for the survivors.
​Launch a transparent inquiry into why a lone operative was armed in a civilian village.
​Is “accidental discharge” becoming a legal shield for brutality? Should security operatives be banned from carrying sidearms in residential communities?
