A Twitter user, @Ameerah_sufyan, says she and 16 other residents of the federal capital territory (FCT) have been kidnapped by gunmen.

In a chat with TheCable, Sahabi Sufyan, who identified himself as Ameerah’s brother, said she was just recovering from an accident.“It’s not easy to have a loved one in the hands of unknown men, most especially, those who are armed with intentions and whereabouts unknown,” he said.

“She’s just recovering from an accident where a hit-and-run driver knocked her down. With her health, coupled with the level of insecurity, we can only trust God.” In another post at 3:36pm, about two hours after the previous, Ameerah said the victims had been divided into separate groups.Reacting to the development in a series of tweets, the FCT police command said investigation had begun into the incident.

The command added that operatives have been deployed to track the victims, and urged everyone to remain calm. Our message might just be reaching the social media space but If a thousand action has been taken on locating her, our last comment on her post would probably be the 999th.— NPF FCT Command Meanwhile, efforts to reach Olumuyiwa Adejobi, force spokesman, as well as Josephine Adeh, FCT police spokesperson, proved abortive as they didn’t respond to calls or messages.
