A resident of Gbaupe, Ishaya Musa, said the incident happened on Tuesday night when gunmen wielding AK-47 rifles invaded the community.
He said the gunmen, raided two houses and whisked away two children, aged 9 and 13 years amid sporadic shooting.
“Though I am yet to get their names, especially the children who are a male and a female between the ages of 9 and 13 years who were among those kidnapped,” he said.
The spokeswoman of the FCT police command, SP Adeh Josephine, in her reply to our reporter’s text, said, “I will call and confirm then revert to you as soon as possible please.”
