Two teenage sisters have been kidnapped by bandits at Guita community, Chikakore in Kubwa, Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
Our correspondent gathered that the kidnappers struck on Sunday at about 11:25 pm, and have since demanded N30m ransom from their family.
This is coming barely eight days after the Chikakore community protested to the office of the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, over the state of the major road linking their community which they described as one of the causes of serial kidnapping in the area.
It was learnt that the gunmen numbering six, made away with the girls, who were said to be 16 and 14 years old, through the forests and hills in the area.
A resident who spoke with our correspondent said, “The two girls, aged 14 and 16, were kidnapped from their home on Sunday. The bandits attacked at about 11:25 pm.
“However, I learnt that the kid appears have demanded N30million ransom from the girls’ family.”
The spokesperson for the FCT Police Command, Josephine Adeh, could not be reached for comments on Wednesday. She did not pick her calls nor responded to the SMS sent to her telephone number.
