Gunmen suspected to be
kidnappers have killed one, Ayuba Chashe, and abducted his two children at the
Yebu community in Kwali Area Council of FCT.
The Chairman of Kwali
Area Council, Danladi Chiya, confirmed the development to newsmen in Kwali.
Chiya said that the
incident happened at midnight on Monday when the gunmen attacked the community.
The chairman condemned the attack on the Yebu community that led to the death
of the man and the abduction of his two children.
He assured the
residents in the area that everything possible would be done to get the
perpetrators to book and the children released from captivity safely. He
commiserated with the affected family and assured that there was a
collaboration between security agencies to make sure that the kidnappers are
apprehended.
Chiya, therefore,
urged the community to cooperate with security agencies and report any
suspicious movement to curb the menace in the area.
Similar incident
happened last week in Kuje Area Council in which a Nigerian Security and Civil
Defence Corps (NSCDC) officer was kidnapped with his two children.
