Aderibigbe said, “Gunmen abducted 15 persons along the abandoned 14 kilometers Pegi road, out of those kidnapped is one Shuaibu Musa, a staff with the FCTA.

 

“We also observed that the husband of the woman who sells second-hand clothes at the main entrance to the estate was among the people kidnapped while they were returning from work.

 

“The kidnappers have not contacted the families of those abducted at the moment, but we are still trying to identify other residents abducted.”

Meanwhile, reacting to the incident, following an inquiry by journalists on Tuesday, the Director, the FCT Department of Development Control, Mukhtar Galadima said, “The kidnap incident is true, one of our drivers, Shuaibu Musa, was among the abductees, and he is yet to be released.”
