- The kidnappers numbering six, took away the girls, who were said to be 16 and 14 years old through the forests
Gunmen terrorising Abuja and its environs have struck again as insecurity and crime worsen in the nation’s seat of power.
The gunmen suspected to be bandits kidnapped two teenage sisters from the Guita community in Chikakore, Kubwa, Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory.
It was gathered that the kidnappers successfully kidnapped the victims without any hindrance or restraint around 11:25 p.m., on Sunday, despite the military and police presence in the area.
The kidnappers numbering six, took away the girls, who were said to be 16 and 14 years old through the forests and hills in the area.
It was gathered that the kidnappers have demanded N30 million ransom to release their captives.
The development is coming eight days after members of the Chikakore village demonstrated outside the office of FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, citing the poor condition of the main route connecting their community as one of the reasons for the area’s high rate of kidnappings.
