Some heavily armed kidnappers on Wednesday stormed Karshi area of Nasarawa State and abducted an 18- year-old boy.

The attack took place on Wednesday night in a house on Kurape Road, close to Jibrilla Hotel in Karshi, near the FCT, Abuja.

D’GalleryTV gathered that the kidnappers who were four in number stormed the area on bikes and positioned themselves in different locations before they descended on their victim.

We also gathered that the 18-year-old boy was taken to a waiting bike and whisked to an unknown destination.

On Thursday, the abductors contacted the victim’s family members and demanded a N30 million ransom.

Eye witnesses who preferred anonymity said that the operation took place between 10: 00 pm and 11: 00 pm when it was raining heavily.

According to them, the kidnappers broke the fence of their victim’s house and gained entry into the compound; then broke the window of a window of the house and entered the room unhindered.

According to neighbours who also preferred anonymity, the gunmen abducted the boy while displaying dangerous weapons.

The victim couldn’t make any contact with neighbours and security agents because of the sound of his generator and the heavy down pour.

It was also gathered that the dog had earlier been poisoned with a piece of meat thrown over the fence a day before the incident.

As at the time of filing the report, efforts to reach the Nasarawa State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ramhan Nansel, for confirmation were to no avail as he did not reply messages sent to him nor pick calls.

Report also has it that in the past, similar abductions took place in that manner in the same area.

Recall that on Thursday night, 29th August, 2024, a landlord was kidnapped on that same Kurape Road in Karshi.
