Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have abducted a house wife, identified as Mama Sunday, at Dangara community in Wako ward of Kwali Area council of Abuja.
A resident, who is a neighbor to the victim and preferred anonymity, said the incident happened around 9:15 pm on Friday, when gunmen invaded the community amidst sporadic gun shot and whisked the victim away.
He said some of the Gunmen surrounded the victim house, saying other gangs forced the door opened and whisked her away at gunpoint.
He said though, the woman’s husband was at home when the gunmen invaded the house, saying the kidnappers shot severally into the air to scare neighbors from raising an alarm.
Another resident of the community, simply identified as Usman, said some police posted at the outpost which was few meters away from the victims house were forced to escape due to heavy fire power of the gunmen.
He said though, the kidnappers got the wind that some vigilantes who normally patrol the community from neighboring Gada-Biyu village had stopped because of non payment of their monthly stipends by the community.
“The kidnappers took advantage to strike after they had already gotten information that some vigilantes who normally patrol the community from Gada-Biyu village had stopped for sometime because of non payment of their monthly stipends,” he said.
