Operatives of the FCT Police Command have arrested no fewer than 15 suspected kidnappers at various locations in Abuja.

The men were said to be involved in the attempted abduction of the Vice-Chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association, Gwagwalada Branch, Mr David Aigbefor.

A senior police operative confirmed to our correspondent on Friday that the suspects were involved in the foiled attack on Aigbefor’s apartment at Tungan Maje during the week.

The kidnappers reportedly gained access into Aigbefor’s house after smashing the gate and entrance door of the living room with bullets.

In a video clip, the lawyer explained that he engaged the kidnappers for over 30 minutes before the vigilance group and the police showed up.

He said, “I had a running battle with the kidnappers for over 30 minutes. But God delivered me from their hands. I was able to fight them back even though they were wielding dangerous weapons. Using only a machete, I was able to strike and mortally injure one of the kidnappers. As you can see, these are bloodstains on the floor and walls of my living room.”
