Gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen have kidnapped two people and shot another along the Abuja-Kaduna road.

Premium Times reports that the gunmen launched an attack on motorists on the highway which serves as an alternate route that links the Nigerian capital, Abuja, to Kaduna state on Thursday, March 9.

The shot victim, Lawal Adamu, who narrated the attack from his hospital bed at the national hospital, Abuja, said the robbers, who were up to six, were Fulani herdsmen.

“They are Fulani; they were speaking the Fulani language fluently. I am very sure of what I’m saying,” he said.

Mr. Adamu, an aide to Kaduna senator, Shehu Sani, said he was on his way back to Kaduna alongside his brother after he visited the lawmaker in Abuja.

The victim, who was driving his car, said he ran into the armed persons in Bwari on Thursday evening.

He said the bandits blocked the road and opened fire on him.

According to him, he sustained two gunshot wounds on his back for which he was being treated at the national hospital.

Adamu said when the robbers searched the vehicle and were not satisfied with what they got, they kidnapped his brother and another person whose car they also stopped.

An aide to Senator Sani has confirmed that the robbers had made contact and were demanding N10 million for the release of Mr. Adamu’s brother.

As at the time of filing this report, Mr. Adamu was still at the national hospital, awaiting surgery to remove the remaining bullets from his body.

When contacted about the incident, the FCT police command, the spokesperson, Mamzah Anjuguri, said he had not been briefed but would find out more on it.

Evance Ivwurie, the lawmaker who represents Ethiope East said an unknown helicopter was always landing inside Ovre-Abraka desert where scores of herdsmen reside.

Ivwurie who has also launched an Operation Arrest, Meet and Engage Their Sponsor campaign against herdsmen in Ethiope said the activities of the herdsmen is a time-bomb waiting to explode.

Ahap, you are wasting your time.

Just wait a moment and see the epic stupidity that would be displayed on this thread.

Now, the funniest thing is, those who are saying BUHARI isn't yet back and that those are old pics would still be the ones to attribute the incident to his arrival.

That is how much hate screws one's faculties.

So, what's the difference between Thursday and Friday(few hours) that's if the news is even anything to go by.
"Apolitically" speaking, those herdmen had been off the news for awhile until Now. That shows there's some kind of renewed courage this herdmen gathered.

Anyway, we hope the Forces step up their ante this time.

Their daddy is back. Daddy oyoyo

Leave blackMAIL for Post Office workers.
What people can't just fathomed is the coincidence at work here.
Nobody should blackmail his arrival as the cause of this, but the mystery is the coincidence seeing we've had this news off our radar for awhile.

They aren't the same day.

And that's not the first time we've heard of kidnappings by fulani herdsmen.

You are free to draw your own conclusions though.

Yeah you're right but why is it happening few hours prior to the 'return trip'. Not being mischevious here but, is this coincidental?? That's if the news is anything to go by actually.

Not again.
