Police commence investigation into shooting, abduction in Abuja.

She said the prompt response by operatives of the command led to the rescue of three victims and the recovery of firearms and ammunition, including one AK47 rifle and 25 rounds of ammunition.

Adeh said preliminary investigations revealed that the suspects invaded the estate at about 7:30 p.m. and started shooting sporadically where two persons were affected.
