Must read

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command of the Nigerian Police Force has apprehended five individuals suspected of involvement in the abduction of the Village Head of Dagachi Hamlet, Yuda Garba, and five others in Ungwan Pawa Dnako Village along Igu Road.

Reports indicate that around 6:30 AM on March 11, 2025, a group of 15 armed men stormed the village, seizing the victims under the cover of darkness.

According to intelligence sources cited by Zagazola Makama, a coordinated team comprising police officers, local hunters, and vigilante members was swiftly deployed to the area to search the surrounding forests.

Preliminary investigations suggest that the attack may be linked to recent land sales in the village, as there were prior reports of unfamiliar individuals—believed to be Fulani settlers—moving into the community.

The suspects taken into custody have been identified as Abdullahi Idris, Tambaya Idris, Haruna Tukur, Umar U. Haruna, and Nasiru Haruna.

Meanwhile, security forces are intensifying efforts to rescue the hostages and apprehend other culprits still at large.
