Crime11 Residents, Hotel Receptionist Kidnapped In Abuja Estate Attack by spinna(op): 8:19am On Jan 09, 2024
9th January 2024

Nathaniel Shaibu and Samuel Omotere
Kindly share this story:

No fewer than 11 persons have been kidnapped in the Sagwari Estate Layout, in the Dutse-Alhaji area of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, after gunmen reportedly dressed as military men, invaded the community on Sunday, at about 7:30pm.

PUNCH Metro also gathered that the gunmen attacked two gated residential areas, kidnapping a total of nine persons, including a woman and her four children, before invading a nearby hotel and kidnapping the hotel receptionist and barman, who were on duty at the time.

An eyewitness, Wilfred Akikayo, who spoke with one of our correspondents, described the kidnappers’ operation as strategic because they raided few houses swiftly and escaped with their victims.

“The kidnappers stormed Sagwari Estate Layout at about 7:30-8:00pm. It seemed well-planned as they seemed to have already planned their exit through the mountain top behind the estate.

“Actually, I was a witness to the act, and we gave the kidnappers some chase, but they had already moved the victims into the hills behind the estate. We had to wait for police reinforcement before venturing after them, which took about 20 minutes before three armed MOPOL men showed up.

“Their modus operandi was to knock on doors and whoever opened was kidnapped. A lady ran from one of the houses into a hotel in the estate and chasing her there was what led to the kidnapping of two of the hotel staff.

“The DSS was later informed and some showed up about 30 minutes later, and they fired gunshots into the hills possibly to get a response by the kidnappers so as to engage them but they did not get that.

“The FCT used to be the safest place in Nigeria but now, it is a scary place as terrorists are beginning to gain momentum unfortunately as they keep edging closer to the city. We urge the Federal Government to intensify their efforts to bringing lasting peace and solutions as regards kidnapping and one chance”, he said.

A security guard in one of the residences, who gave his name only as John, narrated that the gunmen beat and tied him up, but that he managed to escape when the kidnappers got distracted while trying to round up other victims.

“They came here at about 7 pm. I went out to buy something, so as I was about to lock the gate, they pushed it and entered. They tore my clothes and tied me up, before entering the house. Then, they brought out the people and made all of us sit down outside. So, while they were distracted, I managed to escape.

“In all, they took five people in this compound. Four children and one woman. The woman is the mother to all the children. Her apartment was the only one they entered in the compound. Three of us escaped, one pastor coming down from the mountain, a guy in the other compound, and myself. They took the others up to the mountain.”

A staff member of the hotel, who pleaded anonymity, told our correspondent that the gunmen abducted the hotel’s receptionist and bar man, adding that although the community vigilante and security operatives had tried to search the mountains, the abductors and their victims could not be traced.

“Yesterday, at about 7:30 in the evening, I sat down here when a lady ran down into the compound. When I asked her what was pursuing her, she was pointing out. I asked what was happening, but she could not say anything, she was dumbfounded. She was trying to explain, and when I came back to check the gate, I discovered that some people had run inside. They entered with their ammunition and some dressed in military uniforms and they had weapons. So, we followed through the back to go and hide. So while we were hiding there, they entered the reception. “When I eventually came out from where I was hiding, I discovered that the receptionist and the barman who was watching television at the reception were missing”, he said.

According to him, security guards in the area, with the joint efforts of policemen rallied themselves to follow the trail of the kidnappers after they had kidnapped four persons from another compound, making a total of 11, but found no traces of the kidnappers or their victims.

“They split themselves. Some were in one compound, while the others entered the opposite compound. The lady who opened the gate for them in the compound was the one who ran down here. She did not know who they were, so when they knocked, she opened the gate. But once she did, they just entered the compound and did what they wanted to do. It was when they couldn’t find her that they came here to find her, and then they took the two people.

“We entered the bushes because we suspected they had taken the mountainside, but we could not find them. The police also came and joined the search, but we still did not find them. One of the persons they kidnapped was a pastor, but he managed to escape because they were trying to kidnap more people, so he took advantage”, he added.

When one of our correspondents contacted the spokesperson, FCT Police Command, Josephine Adeh, she said she was not aware of the development and would not want to make any comment.

“I do not know anything, because I am conducting a screening. I cannot give you any response now. I am not aware, and I have not been briefed of anything.”

The best time for planting Brachiaria is at the establishment of the rains..

However if you have irrigation you can plant in nursery during dry season

you can also plant suckers in the dry season .. which is better because each planted sucker will quickly become a thick clump (with watering of course).. because the sucker is already from a matured plant it establishes the pasture faster...

In this dry season suckers are a good option because they are tougher than a newly germinated tiny seeds which may not be able to withstand the harshness of the season.

AgricultureTools You Must Have To Reduce Your Farm Labour To Minimum by spinna(op):
I.e tools you bshould have if you have decided to farm solo

The problems of labour including theft, sabotage, poor quality work etc makes me long for a 100% solo farming ..with one man with tools controlling and farming thousands of acres


Of course that dream means millions on machinery including huge tractors..

However in a smaller scale ..say i plot to 50 acres these tools i discuss here will help you to manage your farm and reduce your labour wahala


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJPgIZ6B4i0

Included on the list are

Brush cutter machine
Mexhanised sprayer
Earth auger
Matchete/hoe/pixkaxe etc
Etc

Don't waste time start your Brachiaria pastures even in the dry season with our Brachiaria suckers!

Yes we have both Brachiaria seed and suckers available for all wise livestock farmers ..

You can be a wealthy livestock farmer with Brachiaria pastures.. they last for decades, are drought resistant and high in protein

You can establish even during dry season using our Brachiaria suckers . With a little water morning and evening your pasture is full even in the dry season because you started with a sucker from an already matured plant

Get yours now .. i am so happy and proud to see more and more people being involved in this wonderful grass. Later today I'm taking six kg to a very big man in Ajah Lekki

Fun fact: did you know Grass was the first plant God created in the Bible?

Call 07063463851 to order your suckers or seeds.. i recommend the suckers for this dry season however if you have enough water you can also go for seeds!

How much does it cost
Call now no time wasting in farming oo.. and pasture before livestock is the best way

AgricultureRe: Help Nairalanders, My Farm Is Going Down by spinna:
This looks like herbicide burn.. maybe he sold you Paraquat or glyphosate he had left over in his hand..

Farming is all about learning from failures..

Lesson: , buy from a reputable agro store

If it's too bad cut your losses, re-clear the land, and think of your next crop

Edit:

OR: maybe you didn't flush out your sprayer..maybe it had some cups of herbicide in it and you added the dd force to it... Sprayers must be flushed with clean water after each use

My Caucasian dog littered 6 pups this morning, buh 1 died though. The remaining 5 pups are refusing to suck. They just want to sleep. Please help cry
Rush and buy a puppy feeding bottle and dog puppy milk..also give the mother pap..... don't use human feeding bottle it will choke them

Be fast if they don't eat it's dangerous

Also research diy colostrum for dogs or ask of they sell at the pet shop

Give mother pap and milk

Good luck

BusinessRe: Questions From An Foreigner? Maybe Wanting To Move To Nigeria by spinna: 6:24pm On Dec 27, 2023
TheAnimeEnjoyer:
Hey guys, I'm fairly new to this forum and have a few questions, I want to ask as an foreigner? I've decided I want to expatriate from my country and move to Nigeria and start up an large business, or company in Nigeria that will generate income right away?

I'm also looking to make some friends on here and maybe want like to get know people. Right now, I'm currently studying and looking to leave Australia forever due to the high cost of living, high taxes, unaffordable housing, high cost of healthcare.

I've only been to Kenya, and that's only the African country, I've been to and what not.

What can 30 million naira do in Nigeria? That's about 50,000 Australian dollars Here's a few business ideas, I've got that will generate income in Nigeria or some type of business? I dont have 50,000 dollars saved, I'm just looking at other things besides that.

1. Child day-care centres.
2. Shop-fitting company that specializes in shop fit outs and shop renovations, or kitchen renovation business
3. Maybe a pharmacy of some type
4. An large landscaping company
5. Private electrical or electrical services company

I'm thinking of also investing into some rental estate but, I don't know what can 30 million naira do? I looked around and noticed there are a few places you can look at and what not. I do know someone who lives there, but I'm looking for a second opinion.

I can chat on whats up privately if you want to.
If you are coming from Australia there is a business you can bring to Nigeria that have huge potential profit margin (agriculture related)

Watsapp me so i can share the concept perhaps we could partner ...+2347063463851
