A private estate, Genuine Estate, in the Gwarinpa area of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja has been attacked by armed men, suspected to be bandits, in the early hours of Monday.
According to reports, the bandits who were armed with machetes, daggers, and cutlasses, outnumbered and overpowered the security guards and invaded some houses in the estate.
“They operated in the estate for about three hours. They abducted some of the residents,” a source said, as details still remained sketchy.

The spokesperson for the FCT Police Command, Josephine Adeh, however, said the case was a robbery case, not kidnapping.
Adeh, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, said the police had already been mobilised to the scene to ascertain how the incident happened.
