It was gathered that the late suspect turned the gun to himself and committed suicide immediately after killing the colleagues.

A senior officer in Sokoto Division said the remains of the victims have been moved to the Usmanu Danfodiyo Teaching Hospital (UDUTH), Sokoto, while investigation has commenced.

He explained that the soldier might have been battling with operational and psychological stresses.

“It is something that is common in the military. But that’s not a justification for any of our soldiers to go haywire,” he said.
