Residents of Barikallahu, a community near the Air Force Institute of Technology in Kaduna State, are now living in palpable fear after a soldier from the Nigerian Air Force invaded the area, killing one person and injuring two others on Wednesday night.
The incident, which occurred at around 10 p.m., was captured in multiple videos that have now gone viral.
The footage showed a vehicle painted in military camouflage colors, bearing the NAF logo, arriving in the community.
Five armed personnel, apart from the driver, were seen stepping out of the vehicle. In one of the videos, residents were seen fleeing as the soldiers advanced.
One clip showed the personnel apprehending a man and beating him while others inside the vehicle shouted in pidgin English, โPut am inside, put am insideโ (Put him inside).
Another video captured the soldiers firing sporadically into the air before the recording was abruptly cut. (Guardian)
