A good Samaritan has been reported killed in Abuja as suspected robbers kidnapped a car owner on Gana Street in the Maitama area of the Federal Capital Territory.
According to The PUNCH, it was obtained that the yet-to-be-identified deceased was killed while trying to foil the kidnap of a man.
The body of the deceased was found parked at 44, Gana street which showed that he was shot in the head.
A police source stated that the incident was a car theft incident.
He said, “The armed robbers probably traced the man to the location because he had just purchased the car. They tried to snatch the car from him. In the process, the guy who was shot believed that it was a street fight; unknown to him, it was a robbery and he was shot. He was later rushed to a hospital, but unfortunately, he died.
“The man that was abducted was later found, and he is getting better now. The police were with him last night and we are doing our best to track the car as we believe it will be useless to them; the car will definitely stop somewhere.”
Confirming the incident on Thursday, the FCT police spokesperson, Josephine Adeh, said the police were investigating the incident.
She said, “The Commissioner of Police, Babaji Sunday, has been working round the clock to ensure that the FCT is safe and secure for everyone to go about their businesses.”
