No fewer than four persons were reportedly kidnapped in the early hours of Saturday by gunmen during a midnight raid at Mashafa area of Mpape in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
A resident who simply identified himself as Zack said that the armed men came for specific residents.
He added that the gunmen separately broke into the houses of the victims and whisked them away.
Zack said, “They came early in the morning around 1: 00am with sophisticated weapons. The sound of their guns was very loud, and it lasted about an hour. If you look at the kind of people they kidnapped, it showed they had their targets, and they one-by-one forced their way into their houses to pick them up. We have an Executive Officer of a logistics company, another, a manager of a big bakery, the other one is a Manger of an Oil dump company, and the last one works with a construction company.”
All attempts to get confirmation from the FCT spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh , proved abortive.
