Several persons were abducted in Tunga Maje community located on the border of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, close to Niger State on Thursday morning in an attack by unknown gunmen.
Though residents said the number of people abducted were more than 20, the FCT police debunked this saying 10 persons were abducted and five had been rescued, efforts are still being made to rescue the remaining five. This incident is coming just days after tension was heightened in the city over a leaked memo from the Customs suggested that Boko Haram was setting up camps in the FCT and planning to carry out attacks.
It could not be ascertained immediately if the kidnappings were random or targeted.
