The suspects are identified as LCPL John Gabriel and LCPL Adamu Gideon, both attached to 241 Recce Model Battalion, Nguru. "He actually gave one of them a lift from 241 battalion in Nguru to Gashua. But one of the soldiers, John Gabriel shot him 3 times so as to take away his car. He was rubbed out while his car, a red Honda Accord (Discussion Continues) was stolen. "After he killed him, he then called his friend, Adamu Gideon to help him drive away the car but the duo have been arrested," a source said.
