It was gathered that the latest attack occurred in the Jibi community on Monday night.
EKOHOTBLOG reports that Jibi is a community directly behind Mopol 45 (Ibrahim Abubakar Barrack) along Deidei–Zuba Expressway in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.

“Everyone in the community is now completely terrified as, throughout the night, there was an exchange of gunshots with the kidnappers but they, however, succeeded in Kidnapping the village Chief of Jibi,” he disclosed.
Minga further lamented that despite Jibi’s proximity to the Mopol 45 barracks, the community has suffered various attacks without any reasonable help from the security operatives.
Also speaking, another resident who was a victim of the suspected kidnappers on March 26, 2021, Simon Abah, called on the appropriate authorities to kindly shift attention to Jibi before everyone is kidnapped in the community.
Meanwhile, the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, Maryan Yusuf, could not be reached for comment on the incident as of the time of filing this report.
