Gunmen Who Took Two Sisters From Abuja, Demand N30m Ransom
Two teenage sisters have been kidnapped by gunmen suspected to be bandits at Guita community, Chikakore in Kubwa, Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
This ugly incident is occuring barely eight days after the Chikakore community protested to the office of the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, over the terrible state of the major road linking their community which they described as one of the causes of serial kidnapping in the area.
GWG gathered on Wednesday that the kidnappers returned last Sunday around 11:25 pm despite the patrol of military men and policemen in the area.
GWG learnt that the gunmen numbering six, took away the girls, who were said to be 16 and 14 years old through the forests and hills in the area.
A police source in the area, who confirmed their kidnap to SaharaReporters on Wednesday, disclosed, “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 rushed to his house, the gunmen were already gone. It was when they were going, they started shooting, unlike before that they would shoot before the operation and till the end.
According to the police source, the kidnappers took three of his children, two girls and one boy, but they went away with the girls and sent back the boy from the bush to go and tell their father to prepare N30mfor their ransom.
“When they were taken, the two girls (16 and 14 years) , one of the girls was wearing a night gown, 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 than 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.
