At least Five persons have been reportedly kidnapped in Abuja as the spate of abduction that has rocked the country for months on end finally hit the federal capital territory.
Anjuguri Manzah, spokesman of FCT police command, said the incident indeed happened but did not go into details.
Manzah, however, said the police would release an official statement on the incident.
According to TheCable, among those missing including Abubakar Alkali, a lecturer at Base University, Abuja, as well as two teenagers who were returning from Quranic lecture at Wuse zone 6, were all abducted in the late hours of Saturday.
Also in custody of the suspected kidnappers are one Hannah Azuibuike taken around 8.30 pm, near Habiba plaza in Maitama, and Ummi Ardo who was kidnapped outside Blickers super market in Asokoro.
In a terse statement, Ardo’s father who is an Adamawa-based politician, confirmed his daughter’s abduction.
He said: “My daughter, Ai’shat Umar Ardo (Ummi)), 24, was kidnapped at Blinkers Shopping mall, No.46 Nkwame Nkurma crescent, Asokoro around 7:45pm yesterday.
“They put her in an ash Camry and zoomed off. Nothing is heard of her since, and no call is yet received from them. Your prayer is needed. Thank you.”
