Suspected Abduction Of NJC Personnel In Abuja Causes Alarm .
Investigation revealed that the kidnappers who had obviously monitored the lonely stretch of road with easy access to the Mai express leading to Kaduna and the city Centre exploited the total absence of police presence to strike.
“It was a moment of shock to the agitated residents. It is a classic case of what they fear most happening to them as this matter has dominated discussions.
“A woman, a staff of the National Judicial Council was abducted just at the junction linking the three estates. We cannot say exactly whether they have called to demand ransom. Perhaps, the police should be in a better position to say what happened.
“Efab Metropolitan Estate where the abducted lady is resident has a police station which is under Gwarimpa Division.
“The area is too lonely apart from the fact that the junction, that is, the intersection is bad. In fact, the entire area is a perfect scene for crime any day.
“So when the Gwarimpa Division of the Police started deployment to the area, the embattled residents heaved a sigh of relief.
“However, prior to the incident of kidnap, the police withdrew their men leaving the people to their fate.
“The issue is that some of the operators of shanties chased away by the three estates have relocated to the express where they sell fruits, fish, food items, and all manner of things.
“A lot of questionable characters loiter around the area obviously to study the movement of targets for attack.
When contacted, FCT Police PRO, DSP Josephine Adeh promised to carry out checks and get back but never did. Several calls after and text messages to the line were neither answered nor responded to.
