JUST-IN: FHA Staff Kidnapped In Abuja

Following the report of abduction of two teenage sisters by suspected bandits at Guita community, Chikakore in Kubwa, Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCTA) Abuja on Wednesday, a staff of
Federal Housing Authority (FHA) has been kidnapped at Pambara New Extension, Bwari Central Area of FCT at about 12:30am on Thursday.

The staff, who was identified as Aondo Ver, a director at Federal Housing Authority in FCT, was kidnapped by gunmen suspected to be bandits.

However, FCT Police spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, was yet to respond to the messages and calls for her reaction on the incident as at press time.

Pambara New Extension is few metres away from a military camp and checkpoint in Bwari Area Council.

One of the villagers identified as Adamu, said the kidnappers were said to have gained access into the victim’s house through the fence after cutting the barb wires.

He added that attempts by the vigilantes in the area to rescue the victim were abortive because they were poorly armed.
