Bandits storm Abuja council, kill one, kidnap four in fresh attack
Bandits storm Abuja council, kill one, kidnap four in fresh attack
At least one person was killed when a clutch of bandits attack Guto in Bwari Area Council in the nation’s capital, Abuja.
The rampaging armed non-state actor also reportedly abducted four others during the invasion.
Over thirty men were said to have carried out the attack which began around 12:30am on Sunday.
According to Vanguard, the attack started on the outskirts of Guto and Piyawe communities before spreading to Tudun-Fulani and Sabon Gari areas, both in the Council.
The armed men were said to have split into two groups and attacked the communities from different points, having entered Piwaye through the swamps.
They were consequently said to have killed a woman, Madam Alice, who was in her mid 40s and then kidnapped a man.
Alice was said to have gone to the area to visit her sick mother who was being taken care of by her brother when she was killed.

Two victims were allegedly abducted from their homes in Guto, while another person was kidnapped from Tudun-Fulani, which is less than a kilometre from the council Secretariat.
A resident who preferred anonymity, said the attackers operated from 12:30am to 2:30am with no challenge from security agencies.
He said; “What happened last night was very unfortunate. We couldn’t sleep from 12:30am when they stated till almost three o’clock. Initially we thought it was the vigilance teams who were shooting, but when it became persistent, we knew these people were back again.
“We have had peace for sometime now but unfortunately they have resumed and this time with full force because it was two groups that entered Bwari that night. One was in Guto while the other group was in Piyawe. It was obvious those ones came prepared, because the sounds we heard through the night, suggested they came with sophisticated weapons.”
Another resident of Tudun-Fulani who would not like to be mentioned, alleged that the police failed to show even when frantic calls where made to the divisional headquarters in Bwari.
“We felt so helpless because the kidnappers operated for over an hour, but there was no police or army to challenge them. I called my neighbour when the shooting started and he said he had already called the police. We waited for them to show up for 20 minutes and when we didn’t hear sounds of sirens, we called again but they kept telling us they were on their way. We never saw them until the kidnappers left on their own.”
