Woman, Three Children Abducted In Abuja

Bandits on Sunday night reportedly attacked the Zone 5 segment of the Kubwa Extension 2 Relocation Estate along Arab Road in the Federal Capital Territory, kidnapping a woman and her three children, including a six-month-old baby.

Osun Defender gathered that the gunmen struck between 8 pm and 9 pm, shooting indiscriminately and causing pandemonium in the area.

A resident who preferred not to be named revealed that kidnapping has become a usual occurrence in the area every December.

He said, “This kidnapping has become a regular occurrence here every December. If you remember very well, last December, There had been a similar incident of abduction in the area, now this is another one, and it is worrisome.”

Another resident noted, “This kidnapping is due to a lack of adequate security in the area. Last night they kidnapped a whole family – a mother and her three children, including a six-month-old baby here at Zone 5, Kubwa Extension 2 Relocation estate.”

The FCT Police Command was yet to make an official comment concerning the development as of press time.
