Again, kidnappers storm Abuja estate, abduct resident

Nine months after kidnappers invaded El-Rufai Estate in Kuchiko Resettlement Development Area (KRDA) of Bwari Area Council of Abuja, and abducted a resident, they returned in the early hours of Monday.

During the attack, the gunmen, numbering 16, succeeded in abducting a resident.

It was learnt that they gained entrance into the estate through the space between the main gate and barb wire.

A source disclosed that the attackers visited two houses, but only succeeded in one, due to the timely arrival of the military.

“Let me confirm and get back to you,” she said.
