Gunmen have reportedly abducted Alhaji Abdulahi Idris Rakieu, a retired Assistant Comptroller of Immigration, alongside his wife, another member of the family, and one Olushola Agun.
The gunmen suspected to be Fulani hoodlums, invaded Tungan Maje around midnight on Sunday, and shot indiscriminately into the air before gaining access into the victims’ residence.
According to a source in the community, the operation lasted for about three hours, and was carried out by kidnappers dressed in military uniform and speaking Hausa and Fulani (Fulfulde) languages.
“They kidnapped an immigration officer, his wife and another member of his family with one Mr. Olushola Agun, all in the same location along Bethel Road. The gunshots were better imagined as they were shooting sporadically for three hours.
“In all, they took four people, one from the first house and three from another.”
On Wednesday, a Punch journalist, Okechukwu Nnodim, was also kidnapped in Abuja and was released on Sunday, showing the Federal Capital Territory is also not safe despite being the seat of the Nigeria government,” SaharaReporters quoted the source who spoke on condition of anonymity.
