Abuja Metro reported how the bandits broke into the woman’s home on October 3, this year, and abducted the 3 family members.

A brother to the woman, who spoke with our reporter yesterday, said the bandits were now threatening to abduct the woman too, accusing her of refusing to sell off the family house in order to raise the demanded ransom.

He said, “My in-law is a businessman, and one of the abducted daughters is in 200-level in the university. I have since taken away my sister from her matrimonial home as they are threatening to abduct her too.”

He added that based on the information they gathered, it appeared that the abductors were based in Kweri Forest located around Kafanchan area in Jema’a LGA of Kaduna State.

The FCT Police Command’s spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, said neither the area where the family members were abducted nor the location that they were said to be taken to was part of the territory under the FCT command.
