Gunmen on Monday night invaded Bmuko community in the Dutse Baupma axis of Bwari Area Council of the FCT and kidnapped four residents.

A resident, Mr John Isah, said that the invasion started at about 12am in the house of one Engineer Patrick whose wife and brother were among the people kidnapped.

He further said, “From the engineer’s house, after carrying his wife and brother, they divided themselves into two groups. One group went towards the riverside that leads to Kubwa and Bwari, while the other group went towards the hillside.

“It was the group going towards the hillside that stopped at a nearby house, where they kidnapped a pastor and another young man. We could not do anything, we were scared to death during the period of the operation.”

An elder in the community, who preferred anonymity, said, “Swiftly, our security personnel came down. We made calls to the FCDA Police Station; luckily, we had intervention from them, and soldiers also came to our rescue. However, the whole thing turned to something else as nobody was arrested.”
