Insecurity: Policeman Abducted On Major Abuja Highway
By Shalom Oludele
Superintendent of Police, Modestus Ojiebe, has been kidnapped along Abuja-Kaduna Expressway in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city.
Sources narrated that the senior officer attached to the Kwara State Police Command, was attacked while attempting to fix his vehicle which broke down near Dei-Dei Police Barracks in Abuja.
A counter-insurgency expert, Zagazola Makama, in a report said, “While he was attempting to fix the vehicle, an ash-colored Mercedes-Benz with four armed occupants stopped behind him.
“The assailants searched and robbed Ojiebe and his wife of their mobile phones and ATM cards. However, upon discovering his police identity card, they forced him into their vehicle and sped off, leaving his wife and their car at the scene.
“Following the incident, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Dawaki Division received a distress call and immediately dispatched a patrol team to the area.
“Stop-and-search operations have been intensified at various entry and exit points of the FCT in an effort to rescue the officer and apprehend the culprits.”
“The information is correct but you know I am not permitted to speak on it so don’t expect anything more from me on this, please,” one of the sources contacted said.
Attempt to reach the Police public relations officer in FCT, Josephine Adeh, did not yield results as she did not answer multiple calls.
