Suspected bandits invaded Zone A (Back of Primary School) in the Ushafa community of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, killing a man.

According to locals, efforts to reach the vigilantes during the attack proved abortive as the men on duty were not taking their calls, apparently due to the heavy gunfire by the bandits.

However, it could not be established why the man, identified as Mr Felix Chuks was killed, but there are suggestions he might have been struggling with the bandits.

The statement reads:

“The bandits came to the area around midnight when everyone was asleep. It looks like the man was not cooperating with them, which is why they killed him.”
