Gunmen have reportedly kidnapped Abdullahi Benda, and his 23-year-old son, Jibrin Abdullahi Benda, at Yangoji village in the Kwali Area Council of Abuja.
A neighbour simply identified as Zakari said the incident happened in the early hours of Friday.
According to Daily Trust, a source said the kidnappers, who positioned themselves at strategic places, scaled the fence of the victim’s house.
He said, “In fact, one of the kidnappers was even standing at a window at the back of my room shooting into the air, because it is a fence that separates us from the victim.

“The other members of the gang jumped over the fence and entered the house.
“The kidnappers destroyed the doors, went into the room, and whisked away the man and one of his sons at gunpoint.
“They attempted whisking away the man’s wife, but they later spared her after discovering that she was nursing a baby.”
FCT police command spokesman, ASP Daniel Y. Ndiparya, confirmed the kidnap incident. He noted that the command was making efforts to ensure the kidnapped victims were rescued alive.
“Yes, we are aware and efforts are being made by the command to rescue the victims,” he said.
