Bandits in the early hours of today Monday invaded the Chikakore area of Kubwa in Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), kidnapping a man, his wife, son and two others.
A resident of the community told our correspondent that the bandits, numbering about 30 and armed with AK-47 rifles stormed the community around 12 am on Monday and went straight to the house of one Adefija Micheal Akinropo, who was kidnapped alongside his wife, son and elder brother.
The resident, who is close friend to the victims, said the bandits later moved to another building housing a poultry farm where they abducted a man and injured his wife.
The resident said that already, Nigeria Police officials from Byazin station had visited the scene, adding that the abductors are yet to make contact with the family members.
When contacted, the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, Josephine Adeh, a Superintendent, said she was driving to the office and promised to get back to our reporter when she gets to the office.
She was, however, yet to call back up till the time of filling the report.
