A group of heavily armed kidnappers have allegedly invaded the Grow Homes estate taken hostages as they went from house to house.
The incident which lasted for more than one hour is said to have taken place this Monday morning between 12:00 AM and 1:30 AM in the estate located in the Chikakore area of Kubwa, Abuja’s largest suburban town.
One of the frightened residents, who reported witnessing a man and a woman being taken by the kidnappers, stated that by daybreak, the woman was discovered within the estate, having been released by her captors for reasons that remain unclear.
However, he was unable to determine the total number of individuals who were kidnapped.
“The incident happened around 12am. Those guys were well-armed, and they overpowered the local vigilance team. The police came at about 1am, and there was a fierce exchange of gunfire for about 30 minutes.
“We are begging the government to fix this road for easy access for security patrol vehicles. We also beg the police and, of course, the FCT Administration to help site a station here for rapid response,” the resident told Vanguard.
