Barely five months after kidnappers invaded Pavu village in Gaube Ward of Kuje Area Council of the FCT, killed one person and abducted 11 others, they returned to the community on Tuesday around 1am and killed the Madaki, Manasseh Gambo, and abducted nine others.
Recall that the Chairman of the council, Abdullahi Suleiman Sabo, reportedly informed the FCT Minister, Nyemso Wike, during the last security meeting of the FCTA that 21 persons were abducted in one of the communities in the council.
