Suspected terrorists, believed to be kidnappers, have attacked the El-Rufai Estate in the Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
The incident occurred in the early hours of Wednesday when the assailants invaded the area, firing shots indiscriminately. A man identified only as Nathaniel was reportedly shot during the attack as the gunmen clashed with operatives of the FCT Police Command.
Josephine Adeh, the Police Public Relations Officer for the FCT command, confirmed the incident to DAILY POST, stating, “Yes, it is true.”
Sources indicate that the kidnappers attempted to abduct several residents, but their efforts were thwarted by police operatives. The confrontation between the police and the attackers reportedly lasted about 30 minutes.
