A son of the Chief of Gwombe, Danjuma Maji Jangaba, in Kuje Area Council of the FCT, Junaidu Danjuma, has been abducted.

Our reporter learnt that the man conveying Junaidu on a motorcycle on Gwombe-Gwargwada road, Kabiru Sani, was shot dead while attempting to escape the kidnappers.

A resident of Gwombe, simply identified as Salihu, said the incident happened around 5pm when the kidnappers, wielding sophisticated weapons, barricaded the Gwargwada-Gwombe road.

He said the traditional ruler’s son was returning from neighbouring Rubochi village on a motorcycle when the kidnappers abducted him.

He explained that, “Upon citing the kidnappers, the man who was carrying the chief’s son on the motorcycle attempted to escape and in the process the kidnappers opened fire and killed him instantly and thereafter left with the chief’s son.”

The Agabe of Gwargwada-Ugbada, Alhaji Hussein Agabi Mam, confirmed the abduction and killing.

City and Crime had reported that on the same spot, kidnappers, on Saturday, February, 5, 2022, abducted 11 villagers, including the wife of Gwargwada PDP vice chairman, Mrs Asabe Mohammed Koriya, after she attended a political function.

The spokesperson of the FCT Police Command, DSP Adeh Josephine, did not pick calls or reply to an SMS sent to her on the latest abduction.
