Gun wielding bandits have invaded a community in Abuja, near the Federal Capital City. This is coming a few days after the Nigeria Customs Service alerted that the Boko Haram group was planning to attack the federal capital.
They were alleged to have abducted many residents of Tungan Maje, in the outskirts of Abuja. According to a resident who claimed to have witnessed the attack, about 20 people were kidnapped after sporadic shoot outs.
When contacted, the police spokesperson for the federal capital territory, Anjugur Manzah, said a statement should be expected soon.
He failed to confirm the number of those kidnapped. The resident who witnessed the shootout said the members of the local security groups were outnumbered.
âWe didnât sleep throughout the night. Itâs this morning that the vigilantes told us about 20 people were abducted,â he said.
