Gunmen, suspected to be bandits have abducted 22 farmers in a community within the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja, the Nigeria Police has said.

Deputy police spokesman for FCT Command, Oduniyi Omotayo, who confirmed the abduction on Friday, said the gunmen attacked the community, Rafin Daji, a boundary community Between Niger State and the FCT at the time farmers were cultivating their farmlands.

According to him, “The incidence happened in  Rafin Daji, a boundary  community between Niger and the FCT. The farmers were on their farm land working when gun men outnumbered and kidnapped them.

Upon receipt of this information, a combined team of Police officers from various Tactical and intelligence units of the Command, Destiny Hunters, Vigilantes, and local hunters stormed the forest, combing it aggressively even as I speak for the rescue of the victims and to bring perpetrators to book. Monitoring and surveillance of the community also continues.”

Earlier, it was reported that eyewitnesses said the gunmen shot sporadically when they invaded the community, fortunately, no lives were lost.
A relative of some of the victims, Engineer Ibrahim Barde, said his immediate younger brothers and their families who were on their farms had barely finished their work when the gunmen attacked.

He said “they were 13 of them on the farm including seven children between the ages of 15 and 17, three women; one just got married last year and an aged woman, my brothers and the tractor driver.”

He gave the names of some of his relative kidnapped to include: “Ismaila Barde, Mustapha Barde, Nasiru Barde, Abdulkarim Barde, Sanusi Barde, Usman Barde, Nura Barde, Abdullahi Barde, Babawo Barde, Farida Ayuba, Hauwa Ayuba and Husai Abdullahi.

According to Engineer Barde, the gunmen have contacted his family but were yet to make any demand.

Fergie001, you got it all wrong again. The Supreme Court has thrown away the stupid lawsuit of Malami that you supported. I was thinking of hiring you as my lawyer before but with the look of things, I think garfield is a better choice

BeingFrank001:
Even though your news is just a sentence.

Who else has noticed that the random killings and kidnapping by Fulani herdsmen, bandits and even boko haram have reduced drastically.

Could it be a way their open sponsors are lowering the volume of their failures, so that Nigerians won't remember their silent support and use them against them during this election campaign period?

From Niger, there is no form of government anywhere!
Something fishy.

I'm happy Nigerians are wiser. The youths are now awake.

Many passengers were stranded at various bus stops in Lagos State, Monday morning, as commercial vehicles were scarce on the road.

The scarcity of vehicles was attributed to the fuel scarcity, which was gradually building up in some parts of Lagos.

Our correspondent saw that many people were stranded at major bus stops along Ogba-Berger road, such as Aguda, college road, among others.

The situation was the same at bus stops around popular Berger as many passengers were already trekking.

Commercial drivers interviewed by our correspondent confirmed that the development was due to the fuel scarcity, particularly the Premium Motor Spirit.

A driver, identified simply as Mr. Babalola, said, “Ha, you people don’t know anything, there is no fuel. We are not the cause.”


Our correspondent saw that there was a long queue of vehicles at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation’s station along Ogba_Aguda road, with many people struggling to buy fuel.

A passenger, who spoke with our correspondent lamented the development saying he had been at the bus stop for an hour.

“I don’t why they are making life hard for us in this country. Any small thing, the drivers have doubled the price. Our politicians will not address this problem now, they are only interested in the elections, a passenger identified simply as Sola Badmus, said.

“My brother, I’m just tired of this country, they want to cut short our lives, another passenger, who was yet to give his name, said, as he managed to scuffle for a bus that parked to convey passengers at Berger, under-bridge, for twice the usual price.

Fuel scarcity had been building up in some parts of the country before now. The PUNCH reported that the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, had recently been caught up in some fuel scarcity, with vehicles seen queuing up for fuel since May.

In a letter by the justices, seen by Peoples Gazette, members of Nigeria’s judiciary expressed their concerns over their budgetary allocations that have not been increased in the last four years.



“We are serving this Country diligently and to the best of our ability. We resolve disputes between the Executive and the Legislature including all manner of disagreements, between governments and individuals…It would be a tragedy if the Nigerian Public were to know that we are unable to resolve our own problems internally without going public,” the letter said. “The decision to write to you formally must be seen by Your Lordship as an effort on our part to preserve the dignity of the Judiciary and the respect accorded to us by Governments and people of Nigeria.”

The issues raised by the justices in the letter include the failure to replace dilapidated vehicles, accommodation problems, poor healthcare services at the Supreme Court clinic and poor electricity supply to the Supreme Court.

The justices also lamented the increase in electricity tariffs, no modified allowances to reflect the increase in diesel prices and lack of internet services in their chambers.

The justices called Mr Tanko’s attention to an internal memo served by the Chief Registrar, which notified judges that electricity would be supplied to the court between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. daily, due to the lack of diesel.

“The implication of this memo is that the Justices must finish their work and close before 4pm. Your Lordship with all due respect, this is the peak of the degeneration of the Court; it is the height of decadence, and clear evidence of the absence of probity and moral rectitude,” the Justices wrote. “Your Lordship, this act alone portends imminent danger to the survival of this Court and the Judiciary as an institution, which is gradually drifting to extinction.”

Other issues cover the non-signing of amended Court Rules, an abrupt stoppage of foreign workshops and training per annum for justices; and no provision of qualified legal assistants.

As such, the judges called Mr Tanko’s sense of responsibility into question, fearing a potential shutdown of the judiciary due to the raised concerns.

“Your Lordship, this is a wake-up call. Your Lordship must take full responsibility as our leader. You must not concession your responsibility to people who have no responsibility or stake in preserving and defending the dignity of the Institution,” the letter said. “Your Lordship occupies a position of leadership. We will not wait for the total collapse of the institution.”

The letter was delivered early in June, and Supreme Court sources confirmed to the Gazette that a commotion had broken out over it. They also said a committee that included traditional leaders has been trying to mediate the crisis.

When reached for comment, Ahuraka Isa, Special Assistant to Mr Tanko on media, said he would respond with a statement.
