A reporter with the Punch Newspaper, Okechukwu Nnodim has been abducted by gunmen 11pm on Wednesday in Abuja.
Nnodim’s wife said he was working on his laptop at his house in the Arab Road Area of Kubwa, Abuja, when the abductors scaled the fence and forcefully entered the house.
She said the gunmen after firing several shots, pulled down the burglar-proof iron after which they forced the front door open.
“My husband asked me to stay with the children in their room. I heard the men asking him to bring out money but he told them he didn’t have money in the house.
“They took our phones and marched him out of the house. They went to our neighbour’s house and also abducted her two sons.”
The gunmen also attacked his neighbours and went away with the two sons of Mrs Faith Gbeyide.
Mrs Gbeyide, who is a widow, said her son opened the door when the gunmen threatened to kill them if they do not.
According to her they went away with her sons and a sum of N9000.
The incident has been confirmed by the FCT police spokesperson, ASP Miriam Yusuf.
