International Human Rights Organisation, Amnesty International has called on the Department of State Service to investigate the alleged extrajudicial execution of two persons by its personnel Ajayi Abayomi.

In a statement posted on its verified Facebook page, Amnesty International claimed that the incident  occurred on 19 January 2026 at Karmajiji community of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, noting that the ugly incidence represents “yet another indication of reckless and unlawful use of firearms and abuse of power” by security operatives.

according to the organisation, the first victim of the incidence, which it identified as  Musa Adamu died a few hours after the incident while the second victim,  Mallam Suleiman Salisu, died on Wednesday, January 28, at the Federal Medical Centre, Abuja.

“The DSS must investigate this horrifying incident and ensure that the suspect is brought to justice through fair trial. This gross violation of human rights must not be swept under the carpet” the statement noted.

It regretted that while security personnel are supposed to protect people, “gradually some of them are unleashing terror on the society — creating a toxic climate of fear and corruption. Such incidents undermine trust and leave people vulnerable to wanton atrocities”.

It recalled that “on 7 September 2023, a DSS operative killed a fashion designer at Garki International Market during an altercation with his girlfriend’s tailor. The DSS operative’s girlfriend brought him with a loaded gun because the fashion designer did not sew her clothes on time.

“Amnesty International deeply concerned that in addition to their stated remit of ensuring law and order, some security personnel investigate civil matters and in some cases tortures suspects involved in contractual, business and even non-criminal disputes” it pointed out.
