Gunmen numbering six, last Sunday, broke into a home at Guita community, Chikakore, Kubwa, Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

During the attack, they took two sisters, said to be 16 and 14 years old.

The gunmen, it was gathered, escaped through the bush track, which links the community to another village.

Confirming the incident to our reporter, a resident who doesn’t want his name in print due to fear of victimization, said the attackers initially took three siblings; two girls and one boy, but they went away with two girls and sent back the boy from the bush.

The source said: “When the gunmen 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.”

Attempts to reach the spokesperson of the FCT police command, Adeh Josephine, were not successful as multiple calls to her telephone line rang out unanswered.
