In two separate operations, the gunmen, who attacked Kasada and Ggau villages in the Gaube ward of Kuje Area Council in the FCT, were said to have kidnapped 13 villagers during the attack.
They were said to have invaded the village in large numbers in a well-coordinated operation, shooting sporadically while carrying out the attack.
It was gathered that the incident has left the villagers in fear, as some have begun to relocate to safer areas.

Our correspondent gathered the kidnappers of the pregnant wife of the late teacher have made contact with her relatives, demanding N10 million ransom for her release.
A deceased family member, simply identified as Haruna, told journalists that the kidnappers called one of the relatives of the dead teacher and made the demand.
One of the villagers, who didn’t want to be mentioned, said the incident happened on Wednesday at about 11 p.m.
According to him, the kidnappers surrounded the village in three groups, thus making it difficult for villagers to escape.
The source said, “The most pathetic thing is that a man called Shuaibu, who just returned from a condolence visit to one of his relatives who was killed by kidnappers at Kasada village, was also kidnapped alongside two of his children.”
The FCT police command is yet to respond to the kidnap incident. When filing this report, the command’s public relations officer, Josephine Adeh, could not be reached.
