Tragedy struck at the Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Sunday night as yet-to-be identified gunmen shot and killed Kaduna-based lawyer and staff of the State Ministry of Justice, Haro Gandu at his residence.
The gunmen who invaded the now deceased residence at Tollgate, along the Kaduna-Abuja expressway in the dead of the night reportedly abducted his wife and son.
The brother of the deceased and a former Commissioner for Economic Planning who confirmed the incident on Monday said the gunmen broke into the house by forcefully pulling down one of the windows.
