In a shocking incident, two children and nine adults were reportedly kidnapped from Gbaupe village, located behind Aco Estate, along Airport Road in Abuja. This unsettling event occurred barely 48 hours after over 30 individuals were reportedly abducted by gunmen at Dei-Dei.
Ishaya Musa, a resident of Gbaupe, recounted the incident, which took place on Tuesday night. He reported that armed gunmen, brandishing AK-47 rifles, stormed the community. The assailants targeted two houses, from where they abducted two children, aged 9 and 13 years, along with several adults amidst a hail of gunfire.
Musa stated, “Though I am yet to get their names, especially the children who are a male and a female between the ages of 9 and 13 years who were among those kidnapped.”
In response to a query from a reporter, SP Adeh Josephine, the spokeswoman of the FCT police command, said, “I will call and confirm then revert to you as soon as possible please.” Her statement indicates that the police are currently investigating the matter.
