According to sources, Ojiebe was attacked while attempting to fix his vehicle which broke down near Dei-Dei Police Barracks in Abuja.

Counter-insurgency expert, Zagazola Makama reports that, “While he was attempting to fix the vehicle, an ash-coloured Mercedes-Benz with four armed occupants stopped behind him.

“The assailants searched and robbed Ojiebe and his wife of their mobile phones and ATM cards. However, upon discovering his police identity card, they forced him into their vehicle and sped off, leaving his wife and their car at the scene.

“Following the incident, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Dawaki Division received a distress call and immediately dispatched a patrol team to the area.

“Stop-and-search operations have been intensified at various entry and exit points of the FCT in an effort to rescue the officer and apprehend the culprits.”

At least, three independent security sources, among whom are police officers, have also confirmed the development to reporters.

“The information is correct but you know I am not permitted to speak on it, so don’t expect anything more from me on this, please,” one of the sources said.

At the time of filing this report, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in FCT, Josephine Adeh has not reacted to the incident.
