FCT Police Rescue Five-Year-Old Girl, Arrest Suspected Abductor

Miracle Yakubu, a five-year-old child, has been rescued by the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command, and Nawaisi Abdullahi, 46, has been arrested in connection with her alleged kidnapping.

On Sunday, January 19, 2025, at around 10:00 a.m., Utako Police Division operatives, working with local vigilantes, responded to a distress call concerning a man spotted walking with a child along the Mobil Filling Station near the Jabi Expressway.

This was detailed in a press release shared on Monday, Jan. 20, from the Command’s spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, titled, “FCT Police Command Rescue Five-Year-Old Miracle Yakubu From Suspected Abductor, Arrest Suspect.”

A preliminary investigation found that Abdullahi had stolen the girl without the permission of her mother, a local akara trader in Utako Village.

Following the interception, police officers retrieved the youngster and reconnected her with her family.

“The safety and security of all residents remain our top priority,” said CP Olatunji Disu, Commissioner of Police, FCT Command.

“We commend the swift response of our officers and the collaboration of local vigilantes in ensuring the safe return of the child.”

The suspect is currently in jail, and an investigation is underway to determine the entire extent of the incident.

The FCT Command’s Police Public Relations Officer reaffirmed the Command’s commitment to keeping the environment safe and secure.

“The FCT Police Command is committed to the safety of all residents. We urge everyone to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities promptly,” she said.

The Command also asked locals to call its emergency lines for urgent help in suspicious situations: 08032003913, 08061581938, 07057337653, and 08028940883.

According to the Command, this successful rescue demonstrates the value of community vigilance and the FCT Police’s dedication to defending its citizens.

A Gentle Reminder: Every obstacle is a stepping stone, every morning; a chance to go again, and those little steps take you closer to your dream.
