Gunmen have abducted a Nigerian Navy officer attached to the Defence Headquarters, Lt. Cynthia Akor, along with two others in Abuja.
The victims were kidnapped from their residence in the Mpape area of the Federal Capital Territory on Friday night.
A source, who spoke on condition of anonymity for security reason, confirmed the development to our Correspondent on Saturday.
The source, who lives in the same area with the victims, said the kidnappers have contacted the families of the hostages, demanding a ransom of N100 million for their release.
“Among the three people that were kidnapped on Friday night in the Mpape area is a DHQ official, Akor.
“The kidnappers have already reached out to their families and are demanding N100m ransom,” the source said.
Efforts to reach the Director of Defence Media Operations, Maj. Gen. Markus Kangye, and the Director of Defence Information, Brig. Gen. Tukur Gusau, were unsuccessful, as they had yet to respond to messages as of the time of filing this report.
When contacted, the spokesperson for the Federal Capital Territory Police Command, Josephine Adeh, said she would confirm the incident and provide further details.
“I will confirm and get back to you shortly,” she simply stated.
She has not reverted as of the time of filing this report.
