Gunmen kidnap Turkish national, other in Abuja

Gunmen have kidnapped a 52-year-old Turkish national, Erdogan Guler, and one other yet-to-be-identified man in the Kubwa area of Abuja.

It was gathered that the incident happened around 7 pm on Wednesday, May 3, 2023, and was reported to the Byazhin Police Division, Abuja.

According to PUNCH, an impeccable police source, who confirmed the incident said, “A furniture maker, Babagana Usman, reported that around 7 pm on Wednesday, May 3, three unknown gunmen in a Toyota Prado SUV, whose registration number is yet unknown, abducted his foreign partner, Erdogan Guler, 52-year-old male, who is a Turkish national, alongside one other person whose name and address have yet to be known, at his (Guler’s) premises on Leaner Estate, Brickcity, Kubwa.”

The source noted that the abductors could be working with an informant privy to Guler’s whereabouts.

“However, the anti-kidnapping arm of the SCID is investigating the incident and efforts are being made by the police to rescue the victims and arrest the hoodlums,” the source added.

The FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, when contacted said she was out of the country.

“And I’m yet to be briefed on such, but I’ll find out and get back to you,” Adeh added.
