On Monday, January 27, 2025, gunmen suspected to be kidnappers stormed a community in the Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), abducting a man, his wife, son, and two others.
The attack took place around 12:00 am in the Chikakore area of Kubwa. The gunmen, believed to be around 30 in number and armed with AK-47 rifles, raided the home of Adefija Michael Akinropo and took him, his wife, son, and elder brother.
Reports also revealed that the kidnappers moved to a nearby poultry farm where they abducted another man and injured his wife in the process.
