Bandits Kidnap Mom, 3 Children In Abuja

A nursing mother and three children have been kidnapped by bandits in Kubwa, Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.

Residents say the bandits invaded the community on Sunday night between 7pm and 9pm and abducted a mother, her six months old baby and two other children.

Mr Francis Bobai, a resident and board of trustees member of the community, told journalists that the gunmen kidnapped a woman with her three children, adding that the incident was the 5th in a row without security intervention.

He said, “This is the fifth time kidnappers are attacking with no action from the government.”

When contacted, FCT Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Josephine Adeh, said she will confirm and get back to the reporter on the incident.
