Nobody Was Kidnapped – Residents Of Abuja Estate Deny Banditry Attack

Residents of Genuine Estate in Abuja have denied reports of banditry attack and abduction.

Gatekeepers News reports that early on Monday, reports emerged that gunmen stormed the estate which is after Efab Queens on 6th Avenue, Gwarinpa in Federal Capital Territory (FCT), between 1 am and 4 am, and kidnapped several residents.

Contrary to the report, the residents said there was no such criminal act within the estate and its neighbouring estates on Monday or before then.

The chief security officer of the estate, Abraham John, who was on duty all through the night, alongside his subordinates, told Premium Times that nothing like that happened in the estate.

“It is absolutely fake. We were on duty all through the night. Is there another Jenew estate in 6th Estate in Gwarinpa that I am not aware of?

“There was no robbery nor abduction,” he said before taking this reporter around.

Meanwhile, the Police Public Relations Officer, FCT Command, DSP Josephine Adeh, said operatives of the Command have been deployed to the scene to ascertain what happened, adding that the public would be duly notified after details of the incident had been ascertained.
