BREAKING: Terrorists Storm Abuja, Killed Resident, Kidnapped Others In Fresh Attack
Some terrorists have attacked the Guto, Piyawe and other communities in the headquarters of Bwari Area Council, Abuja, killing one person while about four others were kidnapped.
Ibom Focus gathered that the incident occurred on Sunday morning when over 30 terrorists suspected to be kidnappers, infiltrated the area council.
According to residents, the assailants surrounded the communities, fired sporadically, and forcibly entered people’s homes, causing widespread fear and panic in the communities.
The Federal Capital Territory, FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh confirmed the attack in the Guto community.
She, however, said operatives of the command in collaboration with officers of the Department of State Services, DSS and hunters trailed the attackers and engaged them in a gun duel at Gauraka Forest, Niger State, bordering the FCT.
The PPRO noted that two of the kidnapped victims, Mart Ojadi, 15 years old, and Evelyn Chinaza, 12 years old were rescued by the security operatives.
She said the “kidnappers were overwhelmed by the operatives, forcing them to scamper to safety through the nearby bushes with varying degrees of bullet injuries, and the two kidnapped victims were rescued unhurt”.
