Gunmen kill 4 in Nigeria's capital: police
Abuja/Xinhua/UNI: Gunmen fleeing from arrest by the police have shot dead four people in Nigeria's capital Abuja, local police said here on Monday.
The gunmen, suspected to have been kidnappers, entered the highway and shot at an oncoming vehicle carrying at least four people along the Kwali-Kaita highway on the outskirts of Abuja on Sunday, the police said.
Mariam Yusuf, a spokesman for the police in Abuja, said the shooting followed the dismantling of kidnappers' camps and the arrest of a suspect in the axis on the same day.
The camps were dismantled during counter-kidnapping operations in the Nigerian capital, as part of efforts by the police to wipe out kidnappers from the city, Yusuf said.
She added that efforts were underway to arrest other members of the kidnapping gang.
