Abuja – Ngeria :On Sunday morning, July 28, 2024, Mr. Oluwayomi, a close associate of the victim’s family, informed Koikimedia about a distressing incident. He reported that his wife’s friend had been abducted from their residence in Kuje, FCT Abuja.

According to Mr. Oluwayomi, the abduction occurred around 1:00 PM. He recounted that the day prior, he had spoken to his friend until late night and received a call early in the morning confirming that his wife and younger brother had been kidnapped. Fortunately, the younger brother’s child managed to escape, but there has been no contact with the brother since.

Reports indicate that during the abduction, three individuals were taken, and one of them was injured after resisting the kidnappers.

Koikimedia also spoke with Mr. Emmanuel, the younger brother of the victim’s husband, through Mr. Oluwayomi. Mr. Emmanuel disclosed that at the time of the incident, only he, his brother’s wife, and their two-year-old child were at home, as his elder brother was away in Enugu State. The kidnappers forcibly entered the residence around midnight, breaking windows and firing shots.

Mr. Emmanuel described how his sister-in-law bravely opened the door, allowing the kidnappers to enter. Fortunately, they had concealed the child, preventing his capture initially. However, both Mr. Emmanuel and his sister-in-law were abducted.

The kidnappers proceeded to raid neighboring homes, seizing food supplies, power banks, and phones. They also kidnapped a 15-year-old boy and two men, injuring one of the men who resisted.

The kidnappers, identified as Fulani speakers who also used some Hausa, were armed with six AK-47 rifles and three machetes. They loaded the stolen goods onto the victims’ heads and began to march them away.

Mr. Emmanuel and the 15-year-old boy managed to escape by fleeing through nearby bushes, leaving behind the two men and his sister-in-law.

Security personnel arrived in the community this morning to initiate investigations into the incident.

This developing story highlights the ongoing security challenges in the region, with concerns over the safety and well-being of those affected by such criminal acts.
