Former military governor of Kaduna State Group Captain Usman Jibrin was shot and wounded in Kaduna yesterday by a group of armed men who said they were on "a vengeance mission".

Jibrin, who spoke to our reporter on his hospital bed at Al-Mansour Hospital in Kaduna last night, said the robbers had first attacked his house at about 6.30pm on Saturday. He said they went to the children’s wing just behind the house, and his children shot one of the robbers, who died. The gang then returned to the house at 9, Coronation Crescent, Kaduna yesterday and announced that they came to seek revenge for their fallen comrade. They also said they must kill Jibrin because his

children killed one of their members. The heavily armed gang then entered the house and accosted the retired Airforce officer in his sitting room.

According to his own account, the robbers first asked him for money and pushed him at gunpoint into his bedroom. Once there, he said the robbers saw his own guns and they panicked, shot him in the left thigh and ran away without taking any-thing. Other members of the household said the robbers returned in the same grey Honda Accord 1989 model in which they came on Saturday
