Monday, March, 16 2026 - Scores of residents of Kungaboku and Paze communities in the Federal Capital Territory have fled their homes for their dear lives after a letter by suspected bandits threatening a coordinated attack.
According to Vanguard, the letter allegedly found in a
pupil’s school bag in a private school, stated that the bandits vowed to attack
Kungaboku and neighbouring Paze to avenge their commander’s killing.
Recall that on March 7, troops of the 7 Guards Battalion,
Guards Brigade of the Nigerian Army, with police and vigilantes, rescued 19
kidnapped victims.
The victims, most of whom are from Paze and Kungaboku,
regained their freedom during a coordinated search and rescue operation
conducted around Gidan Dogo in the Bwari Area Council.
It was gathered that in the course of the operation, troops
reportedly killed a bandit, while others fled the scene with suspected gunshot
wounds.
The threat letter was reportedly discovered in a pupil’s
notebook at a private school in Paze by a teacher while marking the child’s
homework.
After raising the alarm, the pupil, parents, teacher and
school authorities were picked up, interrogated, profiled and later released by
the police.
Meanwhile, news of the threat spread rapidly, with residents
sharing the information across various community groups and social media
platforms.
Kungaboku and Paze, near Byazhin, an extension of Kubwa in
Bwari Area Council are said to have have witnessed several violent attacks
recently.
