Some unknown gunmen, numbering 15, have kidnapped Isiaka Dauda, the District Head of Kuchibuyi Byazhin ward, Bwari area council Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that the traditional ruler was abducted on Sunday morning at his private residence, located close to his palace.
The Area Commander in Kubwa, ACP Muhammad Ndagi, confirmed the incident, noting that an investigation into the matter was ongoing.
In March, residents of Abuja took to the streets to protest unrestrained kidnappings. They blocked the Kuje-Gwagwalada road.
Some of them set bonfires on the road and carried placards with several inscriptions, such as “Government should provide security for Chukuku community”; “We need security in Chukuku community,” among others, to press home their demands.
They also chanted “Muna bukatar tsaro” meaning; “We need security.”
Motorists on both sides of the road, those coming into Kuje and those going out of the metropolis, were stranded for the period of the protest.
