Bandits suspected to be Fulani herdsmen have reportedly attacked an estate in Gwarinpa, Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and kidnapped a yet-to-be ascertained number of residents.
According to available information, the attack took place in Genuine Estate located near EFAB Queens in Gwarinpa, Abuja.
The attackers, who struck in the early hours of Monday, were armed with various weapons both local and sophisticated including guns, machetes, bows, and arrows.

He was later released to the family after ransom was paid to the Fulani herdsmen.
