Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have abducted a middle-aged man, Jibrin Suleiman, near Yewuti village in Kwali Area Council of the FCT.
A relation of Suleiman, who preferred anonymity, said the incident happened on Sunday around 08:00pm when the victim was returning from Awawa village on his motorcycle.
He said the gunmen waylaid him few metres to Yewuti, by blocking part of the road and flagging him down at gunpoint before whisking him away into the bush.
The relation said, “One of our brothers has been communicating with the kidnappers since the incident and they are demanding N10m before he will be released.”
When contacted, the spokesman of the FCT Police Command, DSP Anjuguri Manzah, said the command was not aware of the kidnap incident, saying he would enquire from the Kwali police division and get back to our reporter. He was yet to get back at the time this report was filed.
