A tipper garage in Mpape town, Abuja, was raided by armed bandits on Sunday evening, September 22.

During the attack, the bandits killed the mosque’s Imam, Ahmad Maidara, and abducted a well-known transporter, Alhaji Salisu Danfulani.

The attack occurred around 8 p.m. as members of the garage were leaving the mosque after performing the final prayer of the day.

Nasiru Ahmad, a resident told Daily Trust that the assailants ambushed the imam as he attempted to flee through an alternate path, where some of the attackers were already positioned. Maidara was shot dead at the scene. Another member of the garage was also shot in the hand and rushed to the hospital, where he received treatment.

The bandits, who reportedly arrived via the mountainous terrain near the garage, fled the area through the same route after the attack.
