Bandits strike again in Abuja, abduct father, mother and their son

Suspected kidnappers have invaded the Chikakore area of Kubwa in the Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory, kidnapping a man, his wife, son and two others.

The kidnappers numbering about 30 and armed with AK-47 rifles stormed the community around 12 am on Monday, January 27, and went straight to the house of one Adefija Micheal Akinropo, who was kidnapped alongside his wife, son and elder brother.

A resident of the community who spoke to DailyTrust said the kidnappers later moved to another building housing a poultry farm, kidnapped a man and injured his wife.

He said police officials from the Byazin police station had visited the scene, adding that the abductors are yet to make contact with the family members.
