Gunmen have attacked Kiyi town in Kuje Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory, abducting at least 4 persons.
One of the abducted persons, identified as Salami Olalekan, is a staff of the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCTA), while the other three victims were a motorcycle rider, a technician and a taxi driver.
Speaking with newsmen, the elder brother of Olalekan, William Salami said the kidnappers requested N200 million as ransom, N50 million for each hostage.
He said, “The kidnappers called once, asked for N50 million ransom for one person when they came.
“When they raided the houses, they did not carry any property, except a cooking pot, probably to be cooking in the bush.”
It was gathered that the armed men invaded Olalekan’s house through his window.
Reacting to the incident, the FCT police command spokesperson, ASP Miriam Yusuf, said, “We have launched an operation to rescue the victims and apprehend the fleeing suspects.”
