Police Confirm Abduction Of 22 Residents By Bandits In Abuja
The Rafin-Daji community, Gurdi ward of the Abaji Area Council of Abuja, was the target of an attack by gunmen who were allegedly bandits, according to the Federal Capital Territory Police Command.
The bloodthirsty bandits, according to information obtained by DAILY POST, attacked the region on Thursday night, torching two tractors and kidnapping about 22 farmers.
In Niger State, Rafin-Daji and the Zago community share borders. The Gurara River connects the two communities.
The gunmen, according to reports, stormed the area in a large number while some residents were working on their farms, shooting sporadically before whisking the victims away.
Confirming the development, the Deputy Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Oduniyi Omotayo told DAILY POST that a combined team of Police officers have been deployed to the area to rescue the abductees.
He said:-
“The incident happened in Rafin Daji, a boundary community between Niger and the FCT. The farmers were on their farmlands working when the gunmen kidnapped them.
“Upon receipt of this information, a combined team of Police officers from various Tactical and intelligence units of the Command, Destiny Hunters, Vigilantes, and Local hunters stormed the forest, combing it aggressively.
“This is for the rescue of the victims and to bring perpetrators to book. Monitoring and surveillance of the community also continues”.
