Suspected kidnappers shoot man, abduct his daughter and wife
Suspected kidnappers on Saturday morning invaded Nuku village, off Rubochi Road, Abaji Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory [FCT] and shot a man, abducted his wife, Agmada Anyinu, and daughter, Favour Anyinu.
The incident caused confusion in the community as the villagers mobilised and evacuated the injured man to the hospital.
Details of the attacks were sketchy, but the FCT police spokesman, DSP Anjuguri Manzah, confirmed the incident. He said that police detectives had launched a manhunt for the hoodlums.
“We have dispatched a team to rescue the victims and ensure the arrest of the perpetrators,” he said.
This is happening barely six weeks after the abduction of Chief Ibrahim Pada, the traditional ruler of Rubochi community.
Pada was kidnapped from his residence in Rubochi on November 27, 2019, and was subsequently released after paying a ransom.
