The Chief Imam of Yangoji Central Mosque in Kwali Area Council, Abuja, Abdullahi Abubakar Gbedako and two of his sons, Aliyu Usman Abubakar and Ibrahim Abubakar, have been kidnapped from their home.

According to neighbours of the Imam, the incident happened on Friday around 11:47 p.m. when the gunmen invaded the religious leader’s house in the community.

They said some of the gang members positioned themselves at strategic places shooting into the air, while three others scaled the fence of the victim’s house.

The gunmen, the neighbours said, shot and destroyed both the front doors and rear doors before they gained entry into his room and whisked him away alongside his two sons.
