What is left of 25-year-old Mohammed Liman is a shadow of the vibrant young man he once was.
Now confined to a wheelchair, his life has been reduced to pain, despair, and endless questions no one in authority has answered.
On August 1, 2024, Mohammed and his three brothers were having breakfast at Kime Filling Station along Baga Road, Maiduguri, when a grenade explosion shattered their lives.
His three brothers were killed instantly. Mohammed survived, but only barely.

In their August 1, 2024, statement, the police admitted the explosion but quickly shifted blame, accusing Boko Haram insurgents of hijacking the nationwide #EndBadGovernance protest and planting the grenade.
The family insists otherwise, pointing fingers at security operatives. The clashing accounts have deepened their grief and left the truth buried.

Mohammed’s situation is nothing short of dire. Confined to a wheelchair, he relies on others for almost everything.
The pain and despair are palpable as he expresses his desire to have died alongside his brothers.
“I’m tired of this life,” Mohammed said. “I wish I had died like my three brothers that day.”
Mohammed’s mother appeals for support, saying, “All we need now is support, and I’m appealing to anyone.”…..CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
