Gunmen struck the Bmuko Community in the Dutse Baupma area of the Bwari Area Council, Abuja, on Monday night, abducting four residents in the latest incident of violence to rock the area.

According to a resident named Isah, the assailants, numbering more than 30, arrived around 11:50 pm and targeted the home of a man named Patrick, whose wife and brother were among those taken.

The community has been plagued by similar attacks in recent months, including the abduction of 22 individuals in January and the tragic killing of a university student.

Isah recounted the harrowing experience of the latest abduction, with gunmen dividing into groups and terrorizing different parts of the community. Despite efforts by security forces, including soldiers and police, to locate the victims, their whereabouts remain unknown.

The community's leader expressed frustration over the lack of a permanent police presence in the area, emphasizing the urgent need for enhanced security measures. Efforts to reach the FCT Police Public Relations Officer for confirmation were unsuccessful at the time of reporting.
