Gunmen suspected to be bandits have reportedly kidnapped a Nigeria Customs Service senior officer’s pregnant wife and four other family members at Shagari Quarters, Dei-Dei, a suburb of Abuja.
Vigilante sources disclosed this, noting that the incident happened on Sunday.However, when contacted, the spokesperson of the Customs Service said he was unaware of the incident.
It was reported that the gunmen arrived in the area around noon and went straight to the senior Customs officer’s compound, where they picked his wife, three of his children and a younger brother.
They spent more than two hours before proceeding to the neighbouring Dakwa community, a vigilante source said.
It was gathered that the gunmen later released the officer’s wife, who was said to be heavily pregnant. But they left with his children and younger brother.
