Junaidu Danjuma, the son of the Gwombe community Gwargwada chiefdom monarch in Kuje Area Council of Abuja, His Royal Highness (HRH) Danjuma Maji Jangaba, has been abducted by kidnappers.
It was learnt a man conveying the abductee son on a motorcycle, Kabiru Sani, was shot dead while attempting to escape.
Eleven villagers, including the wife of PDP vice chairman, Mrs Asabe Koriya, were abducted in the same area earlier this month.
The incident occurred around 5:23 pm when the kidnappers, wielding sophisticated weapons, barricaded the Gwargwada-Gwombe road.
Sources disclosed that the traditional ruler’s son was returning from neighbouring village, Rubochi, when the kidnappers suddenly appeared.
“It was upon sighting the kidnappers that the man who was conveying the chief’s son on a motorcycle attempted to escape, which made the kidnappers open fire and kill him instantly while they whisked the chief’s son.”
FCT police command spokesperson, DSP Josephine Adah, promised to confirm the incident but was yet as of the time of filing this report.
