Ms Christiana Yatai, who witnessed the sad event, said that the gunmen came to the house at about 11:15 pm.

“We were five in the house; myself, my dad, my mum, two of my niece and a nephew. They asked us to open the door and when we refused, they broke the main entrance and gained access to the house.

My father was in his room and one of them wearing a mask, who was outside, shot him through the window and the bullet hit him from the back.

Those who entered the house later went to his room and finished him up. They went away with one of my nieces, Ms Brenda Friday, 21, a final year student of Kaduna State College of Education, Gidan Waya,” she narrated.

When contacted for his comments on the issue, Kaduna Police Command spokesperson, DSP Mohammed Jalige, promised to get back.
