Fun seekers attacked as robbers invade Abuja garden
Abuja’s Aco Estate Gardens was apparently invaded by robbers, who allegedly took the money and other valuables from fun-seekers.
Ezenwa Alfred, a resident of the area told Daily Trust that the robbers who were six in number invaded the garden beside the headquarters of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), around 8 pm on Monday, June 20, and shot sporadically before robbing people.
Alfred said:
“I was leaving the garden to my house after I received a call that I had a visitor. I was just a few meters away when I started hearing gunshots.”
He said that he was informed by the police that the robbers entered the garden and robbed guests.
Another witness, identified as Samuel said the robbers alighted from a car some meters away from the guests and trekked to the entrance of the garden before attacking their victims.
He said;
“In fact, one of the robbers first came as if he wanted to buy a drink. Moments later when I started hearing gunshots I escaped through the back.”
He said no guest sustained injury during the attack, and the robbers fled immediately after they were done.
