Victims reveal bandits’ abduction tactics

Two victims who were taken hostage by hoodlums after boarding their vehicles from the Kubwa and the Dutsen-Alhaji junctions on the Kubwa Expressway have revealed what appears to be a new strategy of robbing and abduction in the FCT.

One of the victims, a fruits seller in Kubwa town, Dikko Abdullahi, told City & Crime that he boarded a taxi on the expressway to go to the Zuba Fruits Market.

He said, “I met four people in the vehicle: the driver and three others. Mid-way into the journey, around the Mopol Barracks, one of the people sitting with us at the back brought out a gun and demanded us to cooperate.

“The man sitting on the front passenger seat then put masks on our faces and we continued with the journey; but now into a bush.

“Inside the bush, they removed the masks and collected my money amounting to N75,000 and my mobile phone, and did the same thing to the other person.

“They gave us our phones later in the evening while it was raining. The gang left us to take shelter later around 3 am when it was raining heavily, leaving us with only one of them. We used the opportunity to flee the bush and arrived at a location close to Jere town.

“The other person was able to get money from online which we used to transport ourselves back home.”
