Three women, including a member of the National Youth
Service Corps, have been kidnapped by suspected Fulani herdsmen in Kwali Area
Council of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
They were said to be travelling on God is Good Motors
on Wednesday when they were robbed at
gun point and thereafter marched into the bush.
He said, “The report was made at Kwali Division from where
it was transferred to us yesterday (Thursday) night; we took a statement from
the sister of one of the victims who was inside the vehicle. I told them to
come back today and I am still expecting them.”It was learnt that the kidnappers have demanded N15m ransom
from family of the victims.
While they demanded N5m from the family of the two sisters,
the kidnappers demanded N10m from the father of Grace Oghene Edegware, a
graduate of Accountancy from Delta State Polytechnic, Ozoro, who was deployed
by NYSC to Lagos State.It may be recalled that, so far, three youth corps members
have died in three orientation camps across the country in the last one month,
spurring angry criticisms about the programme.
