Monday, July 15, 2024 In a shocking incident early Monday morning, kidnappers abducted five residents of Yangoji in the Kwali Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory and shot Alhaji Musa Majaga, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
A local resident named Abdullahi told
Daily Trust that the kidnappers invaded Majaga's house around 12:23 am,
smashing through the burglary-proof windows to gain entry. They shot Majaga and
abducted two of his children.
"After taking two of his
children, they proceeded to another apartment and kidnapped three other
neighbors," Abdullahi said.
A member of the local vigilante
group, speaking on condition of anonymity, noted that the kidnappers exploited
a shortage of cartridges among the vigilantes.
"The kidnappers struck after
learning that our vigilantes were low on cartridges. This is the first
kidnapping incident we've had in Yangoji in the past five months," the
vigilante member explained.
Alhaji Majaga, who sustained a
gunshot wound to the leg, has been taken to a private hospital in Gwagwalada
for treatment. Authorities are currently investigating the incident and working
to secure the release of the kidnapped individuals.
