Gunmen have abducted the Village Head of Ketti in Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) of the FCT, Mr Sunday Zakwoyi; one of his aides, Markus Gade; and another resident.
Confirming the incident, the District Head of Ketti, Alex Akata, said the incident happened in the early hours of Friday when the gunmen in their large numbers invaded the chief’s house.
He said, “They came in their large numbers and divided themselves into groups before they forced the gate of the house open, went straight to the chief’s room and whisked him alongside one of his aides away.
“But before going away with the chief and his aide, the kidnappers proceeded to a neighbour’s house and whisked away a resident amid gunshots.”

He noted that, “Just three weeks ago, gunmen invaded Ketti and abducted residents. They are still in captivity.”
He, therefore, appealed to relevant security agencies to step up actions to rescue the victims, saying other residents of the community were no longer sleeping in peace.
The spokeswoman of the FCT Police Command, DSP Adeh Josephine, was yet to confirm the incident.
