Monday, July 22, 2024 -The corpse of a youth said to be an indigene of Gombe State, was discovered in Zaria, weekend, with deep cuts, near the ever-busy PZ area in Sabon Gari Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
It was alleged that the deceased and
his killers were in Zaria, hoping they could be recruited into the Nigerian
Army.
Reacting to the incident, the Public
Relations Officer at the Army Depot, who spoke to Vanguard, said
“Please note that we also heard of
the incident, where a civilian was robbed and killed around PZ. The Zaria
Divisional Police is in charge of this matter. You can contact them for further
inquiries. Thanks.”
A resident of the area said the young
man was allegedly “hacked to death by his colleagues, who withdrew N800,000
from his account.
“His lifeless body had knife cuts. It
was found on Saturday morning around the PZ area in Sabon Gari Local Government
Area.
The deceased came from Gombe State.
He had told his friends that his parents sent about N1 million into his
account. On Friday, he even gave his ATM card and password to one of the
friends to withdraw N10,000 and buy food for them.
His friends are suspected to be
behind the killing because they knew he had money and they have his ATM
password. The corpse was deposited at a medical facility in Zaria.”
The state police command is yet to
comment on the incident.
