Gunmen on Sunday night attacked Pegi community in the Kuje Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, and abducted a resident, who was returning from work.
The gunmen were said to have dressed in army camouflage as they shot sporadically in the air, forcing many cars who were on their way home to stop.
The victim, who was identified as Mr Laide Muhammad, was not lucky enough during the encounter as he was whisked away in the process.
