There was palpable fear in Garaku, Kokona Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, following the abduction of two businessmen.
They were abducted by unknown gunmen who invaded their homes in the Dadin Kowa area of Garaku early Wednesday.
A source from the community told Newspot that the unknown gunmen shot sporadically into the air before whisking their victims away to an unknown destination.
He explained that no life was lost during the operation, saying it lasted for about an hour.
An aide to the council chairman, who confirmed the abduction, said the victims were Nigerians of Igbo background who had lived and traded in the area and environs for over 20 years.
He called for calm and expressed confidence that the security had since been notified and would rescue the victims unhurt and reunite them with their families.
