Sources said the kidnappers, wielding sophisticated weapons, barricaded the Gwargwada-Gwombe road, shot endlessly to scare people before whisking Junaidu away.
The prince was said to be returning from a neighbouring village, Rubochi, on a motorcycle, when the kidnappers suddenly appeared on the road.
“Upon sighting the kidnappers, the man conveying the chief’s son on a motorcycle attempted to escape, the kidnappers opened fire and killed him instantly, while they whisked away the chief’s son,” the source said.
The Agabe of Gwargwada-Ugbada, Hussein Agabi, confirmed the incident in a telephone interview, yesterday.
Salihu, a resident of Gwombe, said the incident happened Wednesday at the same spot where the gunmen kidnapped 11 villagers, including the wife of PDP Vice Chairman, Mrs Asabe Mohammed Koriya, last week
“However, one of the 11 kidnapped victims of last week from my village escaped from kidnappers den,” he added.
