- Locals disclosed that the vigilantes men on duty did not respond to distress calls as they did not take their calls
One Felix Chuks has been shot dead by rampaging bandits in a fresh attack in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
The deceased entire family was also abducted by the bandits during the attack on Ushafa community in Zone A area of the FCT.
The gunmen were said to have stormed the area around midnight on Thursday with heavy gunfire.
Locals disclosed that the vigilantes men on duty did not respond to distress calls as they did not take their calls.
It could not, however, be ascertain why the man was killed, with some saying he might have been struggling with the bandits.
“The bandits came to the area around midnight when everyone was asleep. It looks like the man was not cooperating with them, which is why they killed him,” a source told AFRIPOST.
Back of Primary School in Ushafa is notorious for various nefarious activities, as a similar incident happened some months ago when bandits stormed the area, killing a man and abducting his pregnant wife and children.
Recall that no arrest has been made since the last abduction.
Efforts to reach the FCT police spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, failed as her mobile line was constantly engaged.
Meanwhile, an enlarged Ushafa community meeting is currently ongoing at the time this report was filed.
The emergency meeting was called to address the current incident.
