Terrorists who attempted to attack the Nigerian Law School in Bwari, Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, have reportedly abducted a Captain of the Nigerian Army and 13 soldiers who responded to a distress call.
SaharaReporters learnt on Tuesday that the Nigerian Army has launched a search party for the Captain, who was the Commanding Officer of the 13 soldiers.





SaharaReporters had on Monday reported that the troops of the Elite Guards Brigade foiled an attack by terrorists on the Nigerian Law School in Bwari.
A military signal obtained by SaharaReporters had revealed that the gunmen on Sunday ambushed the soldiers who were on routine patrol of the area.
The troops were said to have successfully repelled the terrorists.
A military source revealed on Tuesday morning that the Commanding Officer, identified as Captain Samuel and 13 soldiers were still missing in the aftermath of the operation and a search party had been launched for them.
He said, “Thirteen soldiers with their Commanding Officer, Capt. Samuel who manned the military checkpoint at Bwari - Abuja, are missing after responding to a distress call of kidnapping of some locals by suspected Ansanru terrorist group last Sunday.
“The terrorists had earlier on Friday kidnapped many locals from the Zuma community close to Veritas University, a Catholic University located in Bwari and demanded N500,000 ransom from each of their victims. Problem started when a member of a vigilante group in the community, who was later killed by the terrorist group yesterday alerted the soldiers of this development.
“The military responded swiftly, only for their response to become fatal as we saw many soldiers with bullet wounds being evacuated from the scene of the attack, and heavy movement of military equipment like MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) Armoured Tanks and the military response team around Bwari for the past 3 days for a suspected cleanup operation.”
The source added, “As at the time of this report, the military is still in vigorous search of the Captain and his 13 other soldiers in the rocky terrain of Bwari; they have neither found them or their dead bodies.


"When the wife of the military officer, Capt. Samuel, who is heavily pregnant, checked on her husband yesterday since she couldn't reach him on the phone, some top military officers convinced her that her husband was on a special duty and he is safe.
“It is important to note that Bwari suburb had witnessed large movements of over hundreds of people suspected to be Fulani herdsmen on over 300 motorbikes a day last year and alarm was raised, but the authority said that there was no cause for fear, that those people were on a legitimate movement. Since last year, kidnappings, killings and other violent crimes have risen to apogee in Bwari and its environs. Pray for Bwari! Pray for the missing soldiers!”

Getting worse

Sai Buhari.....

Bandits dey kidnap army general it is finished

donestk:
Getting worse

Kai I fear for this country

Will assume this news is fake till I see it on dailies

Trust sowore at your peril

Unfortunately

It's getting closer

Terrible

Deal gone wrong, el rufai and buhari should come and clear this mess that they Created.

Odin13:

Trust sowore at your peril

How can it be fake when we know Guards Brigade clashed with Bandits at the same location and three soldiers died

Ain't no delaying in this war that we getting slayed in. Cause times are wasting while we stand adjacent to abrasions. This political fouls are more than flagrant in moving this country forward

We were warned in 2014, but our sophisticated countrymen said it was all noise. Our fears are playing out right before our eyes. The future is scary and guess what, it will affect every one of us. Obadiah Mailafa said they were planning to start a civil war in 2022. we are observing.

Buhari is now a diaster in security.

Imagine Bandits attacking government infrastructures in the capital, like kidnapping soldiers and embarrassing the government at any given opportunity.

In my heart, Tinubu, Atiku or Peter obi can never solve this bandit issue or solve any issues in Nigeria.

Btw, Kidnapping is now a business for bandits.

A likely solution might be amnesty and a monthly payment for all bandits in exchange for their guns but then again, this is expensive for a broke country like Nigeria

Bleep it ... The country is gone and dead. Chinua Achebe was right after all. There was indeed a country.
Buhari under your watch the country called Nigeria became a failed state. How do you want to write your history pmb.
Alot of people voted and supported you. Cant you sack those underperforming chiefs?

Omo which one should be believe now

Said Baba. It baffles me how 5%tier were able to know this bubu won't perform positively. They warned us but we called them wailers ..
Now, who's the wailer

This had better not be true.

If this is confirmed to be true and the members of the National Assembly carries on with no adequate response, then Nigeria may have gone beyond repair.

Everything terrible has become possible in this country due to either outright support of terrorists by the current government or due to monumental incompetence by all persons who are in this government.

The armed forces are now vegetables in the presence of "bandits". The spirit of the few who would have wanted to protect this country have been killed and buried by a government who neither cares nor listens.

Lets us all make Peter Obi our president come 2023.

He is the only one we can hold accountable because his allegiance would first be to you and I that used our hard earned money and time to campaign for.

Atiku and Tinubu used their money (actually our stolen money) to buy their positions and so won't be answerable to the public when the get there.

Let us enthrone a new Nigeria that we all would be proud to be part of.

With Peter Obi as the president, other good men who had given up on politics in Nigeria would have hope to come into politics and salvage this country.

Terrorists operating in the capital city is unacceptable.

It's time for all Nigerians to join together to fight terrorism....at this rate there may be no Nigeria by 2023.......If the bandits take over Aso Rock then it is to your tent O Nigeria

This insecurity issue pass watin Apc dey tell their zombies
Zombie oo zombie,you still wa vote for person wey s him go continue from where bubu stop.
Zombie oo zombie .

APC
APC
APC

Vote Tinubu for more insecurity.
Vote Tinubu for more Kidnapping and banditry.

Nigeria is the only country that Bandits kidnap Army General.
And they might succeed in Kidnapping number one since we have no security, they're busy chasing rats in the East

I only want to see buhari running on foot and being guarded against his brothers,...who say TIME isnt the master ?.

what is happening in Nigeria?

GamalNasser:


How can it be fake when we know Guards Brigade clashed with Bandits at the same location and three soldiers died

How many Dey cars were involved since it was a patrol team

How many soldiers were on the patrol team?

ThT 13 men were abducted with their guns and none fought back ..

Na chicken dem catch ?

Just saying

No be everything me dey believe

Propaganda Na dia thing


Owner to the people

Bandits on rampage in FCT, Buhari in Liberia to deliver lecture on Security...


E no just add up..

Ladies and gentlemen, Nigeria is finished.
No more I like Peter obi
No more I like atiku
No more I like casava and agbadu.
To your tent o Isreal

Some vrchins will still ignore this horrible news that's as a result of this govt's failures and inadequacies...and start attacking Peter Obi.

In a saner clime, Buhari would have long resigned. He has failed Nigerians and himself.

Not mincing words, he has failed humanity.

His only 2 landmark achievements in 7 years as President is that he signed the electoral acts and married off all his daughters

Shame on Buhari and his cohorts

I thought all along you are one of the people that saw Buhari as Alpha and Omega.......

And look at what you are suggesting as a solution, now tell me if you are not one of the people who secretly aid and abett terrorists?

What you see now has been fully planned by the Govt. and it's Islamic fanatical supporters.
