Again, Kidnappers Open Fire On Abuja Highway, Abduct Man

A resident of Abuja, Abdullahi Sabo has been reportedly abducted by gunmen amidst the insecurity at the Federal Capital Territory.

The development comes less than 48 hours after gunmen invaded Army Estate in Kurudu, in Abuja, and abducted some residents.

Sabo was heading home with his wife when gunmen intercepted his vehicle at Sabon- Lugbe, Airport road in the nation’s capital.

The victim according to sources was driving in his Ash color Lexus Jeep with registration number ABC 769 TP when the unfortunate incident occurred.

The attackers who were inside an unmarked Golf car opened fire and deflated the tyres of the jeep.

One of the victim’s neighbours, Daramola Joseph, who spoke through telephone confirmed Sabo’s abduction.

“They shot the tyres, forcing the vehicle to stop, but before they could get close to the jeep, the man’s wife had escaped. However, they went away with the husband,” he said.

“The man with his wife were returning from the city centre and heading towards the access road to Jedo Estate when the gunmen struck.”
