In a daring early-morning raid, gunmen masquerading as Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) operatives abducted ten individuals from White Hill Hotel on Shiroro Road in Chanchaga Local Government Area, Niger State. The incident, reported by Zagazola Makama—a publication specializing in counter-insurgency in the Lake Chad region—took place at approximately 4:58 a.m. on February 27.

According to the report, the assailants, dressed as EFCC officials conducting an authorized operation, stormed the hotel and disabled its CCTV surveillance system. They then systematically entered guests’ rooms, abducting ten people and fleeing to an undisclosed location.

Makama quoted authorities urging the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity, while efforts are underway to uncover the details of the incident. The assistant commissioner of police from the State Intelligence Department confirmed to the publication that an investigation has been launched to identify the culprits and rescue the victims.
