Gunmen on Sunday kidnapped two landlords in the Asokoro extension area of the Federal Capital Territory.
The gunmen are demanding N20m ransom to release the victims.
Our correspondent gathered that armed men pointed a gun at one of the landlords in the area whom they used to gain access to a victim.
A resident of the area who simply identified himself as James told our correspondent that the other victim was making his way into his house when he was whisked away by the armed men.
He said, “It happened around 11pm on Sunday. Because of the heat, one of the landlords slept outside. They saw him and pointed a gun to his head. They asked him to take them to his house, and he showed them but they were not satisfied with the kind of house he lives in.
“There were other big houses next to his house. So, they went with him and asked him to knock on the gate of one of the houses. When he knocked, as a well-known neighbour, the gate was opened for him. That was how they accessed the man’s house and kidnapped him.
