According to a story monitored on PREMIUM TIMES, gunmen early Thursday morning, raided Tunga Maji, a suburb of Abuja, abducting a couple of residents.
From a resident account, at least 20 people (unconfirmed) were kidnapped after prolonged shooting in the community that lies near Zuba.
The police spokesperson who did not confirm the figures of causalities or people kidnapped said he was working on the statement on the incident.
Also, a resident of the area who would not be named for security reasons said heavy shooting started in the community at about 12.15a.m. and lasted more than an hour.
He said members of the local vigilante group were overwhelmed.
“We didn’t sleep throughout the night. It’s this morning that the vigilantes told us about 20 people were abducted,” he said.
The attack is coming days after reports suggested that members of the extremist group, Boko Haram, had infiltrated the federal capital.
More details later.
