Trigger-Happy Soldier Kills Fruit Vendor In Zamfara Over
Banana

A fruit vendor in Gusau, Zamfara State capital,
Abdulkadir Musa, has been shot dead by a gunman suspected to be a soldier for
refusing to allow the assailant to go away with his bunch of bananas without
paying for it.

The father of the deceased, Alhaji Mustafa Musa,
told newsmen
that two soldiers went to his son’s fruits stand on Sunday and purchased a
bunch of bananas.

According to him, when the soldiers paid for the
bunch, they tried to collect another one for free and this led to a squabble.

Mustafa added that immediately the soldiers were
released, one of them went home, fetched a gun and returned to the scene and shot
the fruit vendor.

The father added that he reported the issue to
all relevant authorities, including the Human Rights Commission, so that action
could be taken against the soldier, who killed his son.
