The Commissioner of Police, Federal Capital Territory, Benneth Igweh, has deployed officers and assets across Abuja to counter an alleged planned invasion by bandits. The deployment follows a WhatsApp message circulating on Sunday and Monday, warning of a bandit group led by Ardo, a sub-commander of notorious leader Boderi Yellow mai One Million, moving from Kweri forest in Kagarko, Kaduna State, towards Gauraka/Kubwa Hills in the FCT.
The message included a photo of Inusa Lawal, an 18-year-old escapee from the bandits’ camp, who was kidnapped in Ushafa along with others on May 19, 2024. Lawal escaped from captivity on June 2, 2024, at around 06:00hrs.
The police commissioner’s swift action aims to prevent any potential attack and ensure the safety of residents in the FCT. The deployment of officers and assets is a proactive measure to counter the alleged threat and maintain law and order in the capital city.
