Eight women abducted by gunmen on FCT farm
Gunmen have abducted eight women on a farm in Gwombe village, in Gwargwada Chiefdom, Kuje Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
This abduction occurred approximately 48 hours following the kidnapping of the father of the vice chairman of Kwali Area Council, along with six others in Yewuti village in Kwali.
According to a source, the incident unfolded around 5:00 pm on Monday.
The victims, identified as housewives, were harvesting benni seeds when the gunmen, armed with AK-47 rifles, emerged and encircled them.
A community leader, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the abduction, highlighting that four of the women are from the same household.
He alleged, “I suspect that these gunmen that abducted our women are among those ones that escaped from neighbouring Kabbi village who were roaming inside the bush after Miyetti Allah vigilantes neutralised some of them over the weekend.”
The spokeswoman of the FCT Police Command, SP Josephine Adeh, could not respond when contacted over the incident.
