Kidnappers have abducted a primary school teacher, Ishaya Ismaila, while he was harvesting maize at his farm in Tungan Maje, a community in the Gwagwalada Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). A resident of Tungan Maje, Abdullahi Garba, said the incident happened while the victim was harvesting his maize around 5:28 pm, on Thursday. He said the kidnappers, wielding sophisticated weapons, emerged from the bush and whisked him away. Garba said the victim, who had gone to the farm on a motorcycle, screamed when the kidnappers struck. This, he said, attracted the attention of another farmer, who sighted the kidnappers. He said the other farmer narrowly escaped to the village to report the incident. “The teacher was busy harvesting maize when the kidnappers, wielding AK-47 rifles, suddenly emerged and whisked him away. It was when they were leading him out of the farm that he screamed, which attracted the attention of another farmer who sighted the kidnappers and escaped back home to report,” he said. Garba added that the victim teaches at the Local Education Authority (LEA) Dakwa 1 in Bwari Area Council but resides in Tungan Maje with his family.
