A resident who spoke with PUNCH on the development decried the spate of kidnappings in the area, stating it has become a usual occurrence every December.
He said, “This kidnapping has become a regular occurrence here every December. If you remember very well, last December, The PUNCH reported a similar incident of abduction in the area, now this is another one, and it is worrisome.”
Another resident also claimed that the kidnappings in the city are due to inadequate security.
He said, “This kidnapping is due to a lack of adequate security in the area. Last night they kidnapped a whole family – a mother and her three children, including a six months old baby here at Zone 5, Kubwa Extension 2 Relocation estate.”
While the FCT Police Command is yet to make an official comment concerning the development, the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, promised to find out about the incident and revert.
