The lifeless body of a youth
said to be an indigene of Gombe State, was discovered in Zaria, on Saturday
morning with deep knife cuts, near 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.”
