Gunmen raided Tungan Maje, a suburb of Abuja, early Thursday September 10, 2020 abducting an unspecified number of residents, PREMIUM TIMES has learnt. One resident said at least 20 people were kidnapped after prolonged shooting in the community that lies near Zuba. This figure could not be immediately confirmed.
The police spokesperson for the federal capital territory, Anjugur Manzah, told PREMIUM TIMES he was working on a statement on the incident. He did not confirm the number of those kidnapped, or whether there are casualties.
The attack is coming weeks after reports suggested that members of the extremist group, Boko Haram, had infiltrated the federal capital. Police have confirmed the attack, saying 10 people were kidnapped and five rescued.
