Gunmen ‘disguised as EFCC operatives’ abduct ten in Niger hotel

 

Gunmen disguised as operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have reportedly abducted ten persons from White Hill Hotel on Shiroro Road, Chanchaga LGA of Niger state.

According to Zagazola Makama, the counter-insurgency publication focused on the Lake Chad region, the abduction occurred around 4:58am on February 27, when the armed men reportedly stormed the hotel, disguising themselves as EFCC personnel on an official operation.

Makama said the suspects disabled the hotel’s CCTV cameras before entering guests’ rooms one by one, forcibly taking away ten people to an unknown destination.

“The public has been urged and assured to stay vigilant and report suspicious movements, as efforts are being made to unravel the mystery behind the incident,” Makama said.

 

The assistant commissioner of police, State Intelligence Department (Acpol SID), confirmed to the publication that investigations are ongoing to identify the perpetrators and locate the abducted victims.
