Police have confirmed the kidnap of the former Kuje Vice Chairman, Mohammed Baba, and some council members in Kuje community, Abuja by gunmen.
The Federal Capital Territory Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Yusuf Mariam, who confirmed the incident on Sunday, said that effforts were being made to rescue the kidnapped persons.
It was gathered that the incident happened around 6:00pm on Saturday when people were returning home after going to congratulate the new Education Secretary of Kuje council, Mr Yunusa Zakari.
The gunmen, it was gathered, hijacked a bus conveying the people after the event and took them through the bush to unknown destination.
Recall that three weeks ago gunmen in similar fashion invaded the Tunga Maje Community in Abuja and abducted five persons. They were eventually released but it could not be ascertained if they were rescued by security agents or paid ransome.
