Gunmen kill man, injure driver in Abuja

A man simply identified as Ramos has been shot dead by suspected armed robbers in Dutse in Bwari Area Council of the FCT.

When City & Crime visited the house of the deceased at Fo1 in Kubwa, Abuja, Tuesday, most residents were reluctant to talk about the incident.

However, Ahmed Salihu, a resident, told our reporter, “Ramos was returning from a nightclub in a cab when the incident happened. The cab driver was also shot, but he survived. They were both rushed to the hospital, where Ramos was confirmed dead by doctors. The driver is currently nursing severe injuries.” A security guard at the house said, “As you can see, the house is empty, his corpse was moved to Adamawa State this morning for burial. If you had come earlier, you would have met his family members. I don’t have much information. I started working here a few weeks ago.” 

The FCT police spokesperson, Josephine Adeh, was unreachable for comment on the incident.
