Hoodlums suspected to be kidnappers have invaded the Chikakore area of Kubwa in Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory, kidnapping a man, his wife, son and two others.
A resident of the community told our correspondent that the kidnappers, numbering about 30 and armed with AK-47 rifles stormed the community around 12 am today and went straight to the house of one Adefija Micheal Akinropo, who was kidnapped alongside his wife, son and elder brother, reports Daily Trust.
The resident, who is close to the victims, said the kidnappers later moved to another building housing a poultry farm, kidnapped a man and injured his wife.
He said police officials from Byazin police 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.
