Gunmen reportedly invaded the Bmuko Community in the Dutse Baupma axis of the Bwari Area Council, Federal Capital Territory, on Monday night, abducting four residents. According to a community resident named Mr. Isah, the gunmen arrived around 11:50 pm, targeting the home of Engineer Patrick and seizing his wife and brother, along with two others.<\/p>\n

This incident follows previous attacks in the area, including the January kidnapping of 22 individuals and the tragic killing of a university student. Another resident, Isah, described the latest attack, noting the kidnappers’ significant numbers and their division into two groups during the operation.<\/p>\n

Residents, alarmed by gunshots, sought help from security forces, but efforts to locate and rescue the abducted individuals proved challenging. Concerns about the lack of a police outpost in the community have been raised, underscoring the need for improved security measures.<\/p>\n

While details are still emerging, the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, could not be reached for confirmation at the time of reporting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
