Unknown gunmen have reportedly raided Tunga Maji, a suburb of Abuja, early Thursday, abducting an unspecified number of residents.

One resident said at least 20 people were kidnapped after prolonged shooting in the community that lies near Zuba. This figure could not be immediately confirmed.

According to PREMIUM TIMES, the police spokesperson for the federal capital territory, Anjugur Manzah, confirmed the development, but said he was working on a statement on the incident.

He said members of the local vigilante group were overwhelmed.
