A multitude of inhabitants of Kungaboku and Paze areas in the Federal Capital Territory have abandoned their residences for their safety following a communication from presumed bandits threatening a synchronized assault.
As reported by Vanguard, the note supposedly located in a student’s backpack at a private institution indicated that the bandits declared their intent to strike Kungaboku and the adjacent Paze to retaliate for their leader’s demise.
It is noteworthy that on March 7, forces from the 7 Guards Battalion, Guards Brigade of the Nigerian Army, alongside police and local vigilantes, freed 19 individuals who had been kidnapped.
The abductees, primarily hailing from Paze and Kungaboku, regained their liberty during a cooperative search and rescue mission executed around Gidan Dogo in the Bwari Area Council.
Reports indicate that during the operation, soldiers reportedly took down one bandit, while others escaped with suspected gunshot injuries.
The threatening letter was allegedly discovered in a student’s notebook at a private school in Paze by an educator while grading the child’s assignments.
Upon raising the alarm, the student, their parents, the teacher, and school officials were detained, questioned, profiled, and subsequently released by law enforcement.
Meanwhile, word of the threat circulated swiftly, with community members disseminating the information across numerous local groups and social media channels.
Kungaboku and Paze, situated near Byazhin, an extension of Kubwa in the Bwari Area Council, are reported to have experienced numerous violent assaults recently.
