Gunmen Kidnap Four, Kill Vigilante In Abuja

Armed assailants abducted four residents and killed a vigilante during an early morning attack in the Byazhin area of Kubwa, located in the Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory.

A local resident, Aliyu, said the attackers were heavily armed and numbered around 28, suggesting they may have been lying in wait before the assault.

He explained that while four community members were taken into the bush, a vigilante who was guiding the area was shot in the back and later succumbed to his injuries.

“It is true. The vigilante has been buried, and security forces are now combing the bush to rescue the victims and track the criminals,” the source said.
