A Twitter user, identified as Ameerah Sufyan, raised the
alarm on Tuesday after an alleged kidnapping incident involving three pregnant
women and two children.
In a series of tweets, Sufyan alleged that she and other 16
victims were abducted at gunpoint from different parts of Abuja by men in
police uniforms and a van.
The tweep, @ameerah_sufyan, noted that she had shared her
location with her WhatsApp contacts, adding that her captors did not see her
phone.
She tweeted, “Please whoever has my WhatsApp number I sent a
broadcast message of my location.
“We were abducted at gunpoint by people with police uniforms
and a van from our houses from different parts of Abuja.
“We’re 17 including three pregnant women and two little
kids. They didn’t see my phone.”
Shortly after the first tweet, Sufyan gave details of her
captors, adding that they were being transported to the western part of the
country.
“They’re four yoruba and two fulani men They divided us up
an hour ago. We’re seven here,” she tweeted.
She added, “The other vehicle they said they will reach
Ilorin and ours will reach Ibadan or Ikeja as they said.”
Following the cry for help, tweeps have taken to the comment
section to tag the Twitter accounts of the Nigerian Police Force and the Public
Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, to the post.
As at the time of filing this report, the police are yet to
respond to the tags on Twitter.
Efforts to reach Adejobi was futile as he didn’t pick calls
from our correspondent.
