Gunmen on Sunday killed a Nigerian soldier, Yahaya Ayuba, while his stepmother was abducted in Anguwan Rimi village in the Zango Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
A family member, Kantiok Solomon, explained that the soldier arrived from Lagos on Sunday evening and the gunmen entered the house while he (the soldier) was having a discussion with his family members.
