Two victims have been rescued after kidnappers invaded Guto Village in the Bwari Area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
FCT Police Spokesperson, ASP Josephine Adeh said the Command’s Anti-Kidnapping Unit mobilised to the scene of the attack and trailed the gunmen at Gauraka Forest, Niger State, bordering the FCT.
She said the mobilization led to an intense gun duel as the kidnappers were overwhelmed by the operatives, forcing them to scamper to safety through nearby bushes with varying degrees of bullet injuries, adding that the two kidnapped victims were rescued unhurt.
According to the spokesperson while the victims have since been reunited with their families, the Commissioner of Police, FCT, CP Benneth Igweh, reaffirms the command’s unflinching commitment to maintaining peace and security in the Nation’s capital.
The two female victims – both children — were kidnapped around 1 pm and were taken to a location in neighbouring Niger State.
