Some yet-to-be-identified gunmen have abducted a father, Abdullahi Benda, and his 23-year-old son Jibrin, in Yangoji village in Kwari Area Council of Abuja, leaving the people of the community in sorrow.
A neighbor of the victims, Zakari, said the incident happened in the wee hours of Friday.
He said the gunmen, who positioned themselves at strategic spots, scaled the fence of the victim’s house.
“In fact, one of the kidnappers was even standing at a window at the back of my room shooting into the air because it is a fence that separates us with the victim.
“The other members of the gang jumped over the fence and entered the house,” he said.
He said the gunmen forcefully destroyed the doors and went into the room and whisked away the man and one of his sons at gunpoint.
According to him: “They attempted whisking away the man’s wife but they later spared her after discovering that she was nursing a baby.”
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Police Command, spokesman, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Daniel Ndiparya, confirmed the incident.
Ndiparya said the command was making efforts to rescue the victims and apprehend the abductors.
