Oladapo’s abducted daughters were identified as Moyo, 17, and Glory, 14.
According to a resident identified as Abednego, the incident happened around 1:04 am on Sunday.
He told Daily Trust the kidnappers, armed with AK-47 rifles, scaled the fence of the victims’ house at a resettlement area in the community and forced the doors open.
The chairman of Pegi Community Development Association, (PECDA), Mr Taiwo Aderibigbe, confirmed the abduction of the woman and her daughters to the newspaper on the phone.
“It is quite worrisome that Pegi, Kuje is being targeted by kidnappers and security agencies are not doing much,” he said.
It was learnt that Pastor Gabriel Oladapo, the victims’ husband and dad was not in Abuja when the gunmen attacked.
The spokesman for the FCT police command, ASP Daniel Y Ndiparya, confirmed the incident, saying efforts were ongoing to rescue the victims
