Late on Tuesday, suspected armed bandits attacked the Arab Road Extension 2 in the Kubwa region of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), killing one person while kidnapping Adenike, a serving member of the Youth Corps.
According to sources, Miss Adenike, the only child of her parents, was kidnapped when bandits assaulted some buildings along the Arab Road, shooting randomly and stealing whomever they could grab as hostages.
Two people were apparently shot, one of them supposedly died immediately while the other was taken to the hospital after the bandits fled with the captives they had kidnapped.
According to sources, the bandits entered the Arab road extension from a hill that acts as a barrier for locals.
The way they were shooting made it seem like a combat zone.
"From Amilomania Street, they moved to Toyin Street, all in Extension 2 Relocation, along Arab Road, in Kubwa" the source said adding that "one of the victims shot dead is a popular tailor in the area."
The source said the bandit's may have resorted to using the hilly area to gain entrance into the street to avoid the Vigilante who are stationed in the popular entrance of the street, to avoid a fight back.
