A 45 year-old woman, Mrs Oladapo Bukola, and two of her daughters have been abducted at Pegi community in Kuje area council of Abuja.
The woman’s daughters were identified as Moyo Oladapo, 17 years old, and Glory Oladapo, 14 years old.
A resident simply identified as Abednego, said the incident happened around 1:04 am on Sunday.
He said the kidnappers, wielding AK-47 rifles, attacked the victims’ house at a resettlement area in Zone A, hill top in the community.

The chairman of Pegi Community Development Association, (PECDA), Mr Taiwo Aderibigbe, confirmed the abduction of the woman and her daughters while speaking with our reporter through telephone.
The PECDA chairman decried incessant kidnap in the area, while urging security agencies to come to the rescue of the residents.
