A resident of Abuja simply known as Northern Man on X (formerly Twitter), Thursday, narrated how he miraculously escaped being kidnapped in the Lugbe area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The escape, however, was not without a gunshot wound.
PlatinumPost reports that there has been a surge in kidnap for ransom activities by bandits and other criminal elements in Abuja in recent times.
He said: “I made a miraculous escape from kidnappers on Wednesday with a bullet wound, just outside my estate at Lugbe, en route Penthouse and Elsalem estate, at about 10:00.p.m.
“I was blocked by their car on my lane but courageously reversed, and then drove through them while being shot at. Bullets penetrated the door behind the driver and got me on my left bum.”
He advised: “Let’s exercise extra caution and avoid night movements, please! These deadly guys are all over the city.”
