Man Killed While Preventing Kidnappers From Abducting His Wife In Abuja

A man identified as Musa Abari has been killed by gunmen who attacked his home in Kasada village in Kuje area council in the Federal Capital Territory FCT and abducted his wife, Hulaira, alongside five others.

According to reports, the suspected kidnappers armed with AK-47 rifles, stormed the village at about 11.30pm on Monday, April 17 in large numbers and began shooting sporadically. Residents of the area say the gunmen forced their way into the homes.

The deceased man was said to have been trying to prevent the gunmen from kidnapping his wife when he was shot in the chest which led to his death.

The gunmen, after abducting the woman, proceeded to neighbouring houses, where they whisked away five other victims, before making their way back into the bush.

The FCT police command is yet to comment on this recent development.
