Army applicant murdered by fellow candidates over ₦800,000 in Zaria
A gruesome incident occurred in Zaria, Kaduna State, where some applicants vying for a spot in the Nigerian Army Depot allegedly hacked a fellow applicant to death.
It was gathered that the victim, who hailed from Gombe State, had reportedly received nearly N1 million from his parents to facilitate his recruitment.

It was also gathered that the friend and others, now suspected of orchestrating the murder, withdrew ₦800,000 from the victim’s account.
