According to Premium Times, a local resident stated that the terrorists broke into several homes and took some of the occupants through the nearby mountains.
“The incident happened yesterday between 7:30 and 830 p.m. Location – Dawaki by News Engineering (urban shelter) at Fulani junction,” the source said. “Heavily armed bandits numbering approximately 50 men and women.”
The resident, who asked not to be named for security reasons, said about six houses were broken into, and residents were taken away through the mountains.
The spokesperson of the FCT Police Command, Josephine Adeh, said on her X handle on Monday that the mission of the terrorists failed.
Operatives of the State Security Service (SSS) and the police foiled the operation and rescued the victims, she said.
“And you didn’t have details yet you come to social media to post things you don’t. It was a failed mission for those kidnappers, sir. Police, SSS swiftly responded, chased them in a hot gun duel and rescued victims, and those kidnappers were not left unhurt either,” Ms Adeh said.
