Armed men have abducted a seven-year-old girl in Yangoji village, Kwali Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Suleiman Musa, a resident of the village, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja that the hoodlums invaded the community in the early hours of Wednesday.
He noted that the hoodlums invaded the village firing several gunshots sporadically before breaking into some houses where they abducted the seven-year-old girl.
Isa said that the quick intervention of a police team forced the gunmen to scramble out of the village.
It was gathered that the Kwali Divisional Police Headquarters responded to the distress call on the attack at about 5 a.m. on Wednesday.
A source said it was the swift response of police personnel, hunters and vigilance members led by the Kwali Divisional Police Officer (DPO) that saved the community from further harm from the gunmen.
