Gunmen abduct community leader, injure two vigilance members in Abuja
Armed gunmen on Monday night kidnapped the head (Esu Jibi) of Jibi community in Abuja, Ibrah Dahiru Liman and injured two members of a vigilance group who attempted to rescue the victim.
Jibi is a community directly behind Mopol 45 (Ibrahim Abubakar Barrack) along Deidei – Zuba Expressway in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.
According to an eyewitness, Alex Minga, the kidnappers invaded the community around 10:00 pm on Monday.
Minga said, “The community at about 10 pm to 11pm yesterday, started hearing gunshots which experts confirmed to be sound of AK47.
“Everyone in the community is now completely terrified as throughout the night, there were exchange of gunshots with the kidnappers but they, however, succeeded in Kidnapping the village Chief of Jibi.
“This is about the fourth time the community is being attacked this year and the police will only come after the incident and claim they are on top of the situation. For how long will this continue?
“The fear of who is next has completely beclouded the community and no one is sleeping with two eyes closed anymore. Something has to be done fast before it gets out of hands.”
Esu Jibi’s abductors are yet to establish contact with the family.
The FCT Police Public Relations Officer Maryan Yusuf was unreachable as of press time.
