Category: Crime
Gunmen believed to be bandits have reportedly abducted two teenage sisters in

Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
This incident occurs just under a week following a demonstration by the Chikakore community at the office of FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike. The protest was against the deplorable condition of the main road connecting their community, which they attributed to being one of the factors contributing to frequent kidnappings in the area.

According to the source, "The gunmen altered their tactics this time. Instead of shooting upon arrival, they forcefully entered the premises. As they entered, the homeowner, a Calabar man, quickly sought help from the vigilante office. He then proceeded to the commander's residence. However, by the time the commander could mobilize assistance and reach the house, the gunmen had already departed.
"It was during their departure that they began shooting, a deviation from their previous pattern of shooting before and throughout the operation. They abducted three of the man's children—two girls and one boy. However, they took away two girls and released one (the boy) from the bush, instructing him to convey the message to their father about preparing a ransom of 30 million naira."
"When they were abducted, the two girls, aged 16 and 14, one of them was in a nightgown. The mother attempted to plead with the gunmen to allow her daughter to put on something for the cold, but they responded by assaulting her. With no alternative, she had to let the girls go as they were, despite the cold.
