A man identified as Mr. Solomon Gimba took to social media to mourn his brother, a soldier who was killed in gun duel with bandits in Kaduna State.

Recall that eleven Nigerian soldiers were killed in an attack by suspected gunmen on a military base in Birnin Gwari LGA of the state.

"Continue rest in peace my brother evil one cut your life short, God will surely expose them, Kaduna??? Bandit??? God bring peace in Nigeria."
