“They spent more than two hours before proceeding to the neighbouring Dakwa community.

“The man used to work in Abuja, with the Police Rapid Response Squad (RRS) always parking around his house. But they are no longer around following his deployment to Lagos, though his family is still living in the compound,” DAILY TRUST quoted a vigilante source as saying.

It was gathered that the gunmen later released the officer’s wife, who was said to be heavily pregnant.

But they left with his children and younger brother
