Bandits re-abduct wife of Fulani Leader in Abuja

The woman, who was abducted in February but rescued by some vigilantes, was kidnapped alongside three of her children on Monday night.

The senior wife of the Ardon Fulani, Mrs Khadijat Adamu, confirmed the kidnap to our reporter on Tuesday.

She said bandits invaded Anguwar Tudan Fulani at Yangoji village in Kwali area council of Abuja, around 12:04am.

She said the bandits gained access into the house through the kitchen back door, adding that she was initially abducted but released when the bandits realised that she could not walk because of old age.

According to her, the bandits ransacked her room and took away her three phones.

“The bandits forced their way into the house through the back door after they struggled with the main door but couldn’t open it; they then went into my room and that of my second to scatter everything inside while searching for money,” he said.

She said her husband was not at home when the bandits struck, disclosing that the police from Kwali divisional headquarters visited the house after the incident.

It was also learnt that the Ardon fulani is said to have travelled to Iddah in Kogi state where he went to inspect his large cows that are grazing in the area.

The spokesperson of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) police command, DSP Adeh Josephine, is yet to reply to text message sent her about the latest kidnap incident.
