Unknown gunmen have killed a Kaduna-based lawyer, Haro Gandu, and abducted his wife and son from their home at Tollgate, along the Kaduna-Abuja Expressway, Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
Gandu, who until his death was a staff of the State Ministry of Justice, was killed when the gunmen attacked their home on Sunday night.
Former Commissioner for Economic Planning and brother to the deceased, Timothy Gandu, confirmed the incident on Monday.
He said the gunmen broke into the house by breaking one of the windows.
He explained that the gunmen first shot his brother in the shoulder and shot him in the back as he made to escape.
Gandu added that after he was killed, the gunmen then abducted his wife and son.
According to him, “They came to the house on Sunday night, pulled down the window and gained access.
“They first shot him in the shoulder, he wanted to escape, they followed him and shot him in the back and he died. They abducted his wife and son.
“It is the same narrative of criminality everywhere. Bandits invading communities and breaking into homes, killing, and abducting people.”
The police in the state had yet to confirm the incident as of the time of filing the report.
Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Mohammed Jalige, said he had yet to be briefed on the incident.
