Unidentified gunmen suspected to be Fulani bandits, on Wednesday night, shot a newly-wedded man and kidnapped his wife to an unknown destination in a Nasarawa community.

According to an eyewitness, who spoke to newsmen, the gunmen stormed the home of the newly-wedded couple at about 11pm, shooting the man and abducting the wife.

The incident was said to have occurred at Akaleku village in Obi Local Government Area along Lafia/Markurdi Highway.

Waploaded reports that the couple wedded on April 12, barely two weeks ago.
