Suspected bandits on Thursday night stormed zone A (Back of Primary School) in Ushafa community of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, killing a man identified as Mr. Felix Chuks and left with his entire family.
A source told AFRIPOST that the gunmen stormed the area around 12 midnight with heavy gunshots.
Our source further revealed that efforts to reach the local vigilantes during the attack proved abortive as the men on duty were not taking their calls, apparently due to the heavy gunfire by the bandits.
It could, however, not be established why the man was killed but there are suggestions he could be struggling with the bandits.
Back of Primary School in Ushafa is notorious for various attacks as a similar attack happened some months ago when bandits stormed the area, killing a man and abducting his pregnant wife and children.
Recall that no arrest was made since the last abduction.
Efforts to reach the FCT police spokesperson, SP Jospehine Adeh failed as her mobile line was constantly engaged.
Meanwhile, an enlarged Ushafa community meeting is currently ongoing as at the time this report was filed.
The emergency meeting was called to address the current incident.
