Yet-to-be-identified gunmen have reportedly kidnapped eight persons in Extension 2 Relocation, along Arab Road, Kubwa area of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja on Tuesday.
According to The PUNCH, one of the victims identified as Adenike, a corps member was kidnapped in her father’s home.
According to a source, Adenike alongside other abductees were kidnapped after the gunmen had invaded their premises.
The source said, “Adenike, the landlord’s only daughter who’s currently doing her NYSC has been kidnapped. We’re confused now because several others are also missing.
“Seven others were kidnapped alongside Adenike. But two others, among the ten earlier, kidnapped, escaped and are safe now.”
It was gathered that the gunmen attacked a residence in the Extension 2 Relocation, along Arab Road, in Kubwa, and shot two males, with one of the gunshot victims dying on the spot, as the other was rushed to the hospital.
Another witness said, “We heard gunshots twice when they first stormed a house at Amilonania Street. They’re now at Toyin Street, at the last house by the hill.
“They shot a tailor, Abel, popularly known as Oshodi, and he’s lying down dead. They also shot another male, but we have taken him to the Kubwa General Hospital at Phase 4, but he was unconscious.
“The gunmen escaped through the hill.”
