A housewife simply identified as Salamatu has been reportedly rubbed out while eight other residents were kidnapped by button men at Piri community in the Kwali Area Council of Abuja. It was learnt that the kidnappers stormed the community between Tuesday and Wednesday. According to Daily Trust, a resident, Yakubu Saidu, said the kidnappers first invaded two houses and whisked away two persons amid sporadic gunshots. According to Yakubu, the kidnappers targeted a car dealer identified as Sadauna but since they could not get him, they went away with two of his brothers, on Tuesday night. They were said to have returned to the community on Wednesday when Salamatu was killed. The dear departed, who was the senior wife of Yusuf Maigunwa, a yam seller in Kwali, attempted to escape through the back door when she was rubbed out. "The husband of the dear departed woman was at home when the kidnappers came, but they couldn’t locate where he was hiding, as they whisked away his second wife and two others inside the house. "Some gangs of the kidnappers, who positioned themselves at strategic places within the community, invaded two houses and whisked away three residents. "The late woman have been buried in accordance with Islamic rites," he added.
