There is an outrage in Niger State as a soldier reportedly stabbed a man to death after misunderstanding at the market.

The incident occurred at Lambatta Market, Gurara Local Government Area of Niger State on Friday.

Traders at the market pounced on the soldier and would have lynched him if not for the intervention of the Niger State Police Command.

Command arrested the soldier, Lance Cpl. Attahiru Jibril, for allegedly stabbing Ali Mohammed to death.
