Fear has gripped residents of Zone 5 segment of the Kubwa Extension 2 Relocation Estate along Arab Road in the Federal Capital Territory as bandits attacked the area on Sunday night, and kidnapped a woman and her three children, including a six-month-old baby.
It was gathered that the gunmen struck between 8pm and 9pm on Sunday, December 10, shooting indiscriminately and causing pandemonium in the area.
A resident who preferred not to be named revealed that kidnapping has become a usual occurrence in the area every December.
He said, “This kidnapping has become a regular occurrence here every December.”
Another resident noted, “This kidnapping is due to lack of adequate security in the area. Last night they kidnapped a whole family – a mother and her three children, including a six month old baby here at Zone 5, Kubwa Extension 2 Relocation estate.”
The FCT Police Command was yet to make an official comment concerning the development.
When contacted, the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, Josephine Adeh, promised to find out about the development and revert.
