Two teenage girls have reportedly been kidnapped in the Guita village, Chikakore, Kubwa, Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
According to the Nation, six shooters escaped with the girls, who were claimed to be 16 and 14 years old, over the area’s forests and hills.
According to a security source in the area who corroborated their kidnapping, the attackers abducted three of a man’s children, two girls and one boy, but only took two of the girls and returned one (the boy) from the bush. The child was sent to notify their father to arrange N30 million as a ransom.
“The gunmen have changed their approach when they came; they didn’t shoot like before, but forced themselves inside. While they were forcing themselves inside, the owner of the house (a Calabar man) ran to the vigilante’s office, then, he ran to the commander’s house before the commander could call another person, and rush to his house, the gunmen were already gone. It was when they were going, that they started shooting, unlike before that they would shoot before the operation and till the end.

“They took three of his children, two girls and one boy, but they went away with two and sent back one (the boy) from the bush that he should go and tell their father to prepare 30 million naira for their ransom.
“When they were taken, the two girls (16 and 14 years) one of the girls were wearing a nightgown, and the mother tried to plead with the gunmen to let her wear something for the cold, but instead they beat up the mother. She had no option but to just let the girls go the way they were under the cold.
“Before the police came to the scene, they were already gone. Some of the vigilantes later traced them to the railway line, to the rocks but there was no trace anymore.
“The man that his daughters were kidnapped is a front liner security payment and he has made some several donations to the community,” the source said.
Attempts to obtain a response from the FCT police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, were unsuccessful.
