Residents of the Kuchiko Relocation Development Area revealed that the criminals numbering over 15 and also bearing other dangerous weapons, abducted their victims after overpowering the night guards. They shot sporadically into the air to scare residents.
The raid, which began after midnight lasted for over an hour before soldiers from the Defence College, Bwari, arrived at the scene, and took on the kidnappers in a fierce gun battle.
The soldiers’ timely intervention also prevented the kidnappers from abducting another resident after the criminals succeeded in breaking into his apartment.
While recounting their experience, some of the fear-stricken residents of the area, appealed to the authorities to scale up security patrol around the community.
Bwari, which shares bother with Kaduna State is now at the mercy of kidnappers and other criminal elements, who before now were terrorising Gwagwalada and Kuje Area councils
