Unknown gunmen suspected to be bandits have abducted two teenage sisters at Guita community, Chikakore in Kubwa, Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

CityNews gathered that the kidnappers, numbering six, returned last Sunday around 11:25 pm despite the patrol of military men and policemen in the area and made away the girls, who were said to be 16 and 14 years old, through the forests and hills in the area.

A police source in the area, who confirmed their kidnap to SaharaReporters on Wednesday, said the attackers took three of a man’s children, two girls and one boy, but they went away with two girls and sent back one (the boy) from the bush.

He was sent to go and tell their father to prepare 30 million as the ransom.

The source said, “The gunmen changed their approach when they came; they didn’t shoot like before but forced themselves inside. While they were forcing themselves inside, the owner of the house (a Calabar man) ran to the vigilante’s office, then, he ran to the commander’s house before the commander could call another person, and rushed to his house, the gunmen were already gone.

“When they were taken, the two girls (16 and 14 years), one of the girls was wearing a nightgown; the mother tried to plead with the gunmen to let her wear something for the cold, but instead, they beat up the mother. She had no option but to just let the girls go the way they were under the cold.

“Before the police came to the scene, they were already gone. Some of the vigilantes later traced them to the railway line, to the rocks, but there was no trace anymore.
