An unidentified Israeli national was Wednesday killed by suspected armed robbery gang and kidnappers at Wasa in Apo Mechanic village after he resisted his abduction.

The kidnap syndicates were allegedly working with those terrorizing residents of Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) Estate, along Airport Road in Abuja in the last 4 months.

DAILY POST gathered that the Israeli, while trying to resist abduction, was shot by the gang and this attracted the police.

The police on arrival at the scene started a shooting spree with the kidnappers, leaving two dead and the other members of the gang bolted before they could be apprehended.

An eyewitness who didn’t want his name mentioned, said the Israeli, a staff of Gilmor, a construction company, was allegedly on his way to the construction site at about 8:30 p.m when four young men suddenly forced his car to a stop, dragged him out and attempted to force him into their Toyota salon car. He was however shot while attempting to escape from his alleged abductors.

The Apo Police Division is, however, on the trail of the kidnappers.
