Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have abducted two residents in Amal Pepple Estate in Lugbe, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
It was gathered that the gunmen invaded the estate located near the Abuja Centenary City along the Lugbe/Airport Road in the early hours of Monday morning, November 4, 2024.
According to eyewitness accounts, the once peaceful estate was thrown into panic when sporadic gunshots suddenly filled the air around a quarter past midnight.
The gunfire lasted for hours before the assailants were repelled by a combined team of estate security and police backup, preventing them from moving to the next house to abduct more victims.
An eyewitness disclosed to newsmen that a young man managed to escape being kidnapped but sustained severe injuries to his right arm from a machete attack.
Unfortunately, his mother was not so lucky; she and another person were taken by the assailants.
