TWO gunmen invaded and attacked a 24-year-old soldier of South Amelia’s Ward, Linden, Region 10 in his home Thursday evening.

Enquires disclosed that the victim resides in a blue and white flat concrete structure in a fully fenced yard.

According to the victim, he went home with his motorcycle, CL 2521, and parked it in his yard, then went into his home and secured his jewellery. He then went outside to relax on his verandah.

While sitting in his verandah, he was confronted by the two perpetrators, who jumped over onto his verandah and hit him in the head with their firearms, causing him to receive injuries.

They then took his iPhone 13 cell phone and his motorcycle key out of his hand. One of the suspects, who was wearing a blue shirt, discharged a shot in the air.

They both made good their escape on foot in an eastern direction.

The matter was reported to the police and one suspected .32 spent shell was recovered in the verandah where it was lodged.

The soldier sought medical treatment and was sent away as investigations continue.
