Gunmen said to number around 40, stormed Kawu community in Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and abducted 23 persons.
Kawu shares boundaries with two states: Niger and Kaduna.
The Councilor representing the area, Abdulmumini Zakari, who is the deputy speaker in the council, said the gunmen stormed the community in the early hours of Thursday, January 11, 2024, from the Kuyeri Forest in Kaduna State.
“They divided themselves into groups and some went into the palace of the district head, Alhaji Abdurrahman Danjuma Ali, where they abducted his son, Lukman, and his wife, who he married two weeks ago,” Zakari explained.
The bandits also went into the compound of Sarkin Pawan Kawu, Gambo S Pawa, and abducted him alongside his two wives and some children.
The FCT Police Command spokeswoman, S.P Josephine Adeh, confirmed the incident to the Daily Trust on Thursday.
“Some unknown hoodlums stormed Kawu village, a bordering community with Kagarko LGA, in Kaduna State, and kidnapped people. The truth is that the miscreants raided that general area and escaped into Kaduna State,” she said
