Armed bandits have reportedly invaded Zone A (Back of Primary School) in the Ushafa community, a suburb of Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), on Thursday night, August 29, 2024, killing a man identified as Mr Felix Chuks and abducted his entire family.

DAILY POST gathered that the gunmen stormed the area around midnight with heavy gunfire.

According to reliable sources, efforts to reach the vigilantes during the attack proved abortive as the men on duty did not pick up their calls, probably due to the heavy gunfire by the bandits.

However, It could not be ascertained why the man was killed, but there are opinions that he might have struggled 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 attacks, as a similar incident happened some months ago when bandits stormed the area, killing a man and abducting his pregnant wife and children. No arrest has been made since the last abduction.

FCT Police spokesperson SP Josephine Adeh could not be reached for confirmation as her mobile line was constantly busy.

Meanwhile, a community meeting at Ushafa was ongoing at the time of filling this report. The emergency meeting was called as part of the efforts to address the current incident.
